According to NULL pointer fix: https://tinyurl.com/uqft5ra
xhci: Fix NULL pointer dereference with xhci_irq() for shared_hcd
The similar issue has also been found in QC activities in Mediatek.

Here quote the description from the referenced patch as follows.
"Commit ("f068090426ea xhci: Fix leaking USB3 shared_hcd
at xhci removal") sets xhci_shared_hcd to NULL without
stopping xhci host. This results into a race condition
where shared_hcd (super speed roothub) related interrupts
are being handled with xhci_irq happens when the
xhci_plat_remove is called and shared_hcd is set to NULL.
Fix this by setting the shared_hcd to NULL only after the
controller is halted and no interrupts are generated."
