In musb_handle_intr_connect(), there is an if statement on line 783 to check whether musb->hcd is NULL: if (musb->hcd) When musb->hcd is NULL, it is used on line 797: musb_host_poke_root_hub(musb); if (musb->hcd->status_urb) Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur. To fix this bug, musb->hcd is checked before calling musb_host_poke_root_hub(). This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
