[PATCH 8/9] usb: host: xhci-plat: fix NULL pointer in probe for device tree case

From: Mathias Nyman <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-26 15:45:22
Subsystem: the rest, usb subsystem, usb xhci driver · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Mathias Nyman

From: Gregory CLEMENT <redacted>

During probe, in the device tree case, the data pointer associated to a
compatible is dereferenced. However, not all the compatibles are
associated to a private data pointer.

The generic-xhci and the xhci-platform don't need them, this patch adds a
test on the data pointer before accessing it, avoiding a kernel crash.
