In other words we were getting a NULL dereference dereferencing
"ep".  There is an existing check already, which should be cleaned
up.

drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c
   498  
   499          if (ep && port->hpd) {
                    ^^
This useless existing check should be removed.

   500                  list_add_tail(&urbl->link, &ep->urb_list);
   501                  if (!in_dir && ep_addr && (ep->credit < 0)) {
   502                          getrawmonotonic(&ep->timestamp);
   503                          ep->credit = 0;
   504                  }
   505          } else {
   506                  err = -EPIPE;
   507          }

I'm not sure that think -ENOMEM is the correct error code but I
also don't know what else to use.

I had a style nit pick as well, below.

In the future, use kernel braces style.  If one side of the if else
statement gets a brace then they both get one.  So it's like this:

	if (in_dir && port->in_ep[ep_addr]) {
		ep = port->in_ep[ep_addr];
	} else if (!in_dir && port->out_ep[ep_addr]) {
		ep = port->out_ep[ep_addr];
	} else {
		err = -ENOMEM;
		goto out;
	}

Or another simpler way to write this would be:

	ep = NULL;
	if (in_dir)
		ep = port->in_ep[ep_addr];
	else
		ep = port->out_ep[ep_addr];
	if (!ep) {
		err = -ENOMEM;
		goto unlock;
	}
