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."
