I think Greg is referring to commit 464ad8c43a9e ("usb: core : hub: Fix
BOS 'NULL pointer' kernel panic"), which has already been applied
upstream. It looks to me like that patch might have fixed the same
problem in a different way, in which case Changbin's patch is not
needed. But I haven't been involved in developing or testing that
patch, so I can't say for sure. At the very least, 464ad8c43a9e
conflicts with Changbin's patch.
Changbin, can you take a look at 464ad8c43a9e and see if that fixes the
same problem that your patch did?
Thanks,
Tony Battersby
