RE: [PATCH] usb: cdnsp: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in cdnsp_endpoint_init()

>In cdnsp_endpoint_init(), cdnsp_ring_alloc() is assigned to pep->ring
>and there is a dereference of it in cdnsp_endpoint_init(), which could
>lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of cdnsp_ring_alloc().
>
>Fix this bug by adding a check of pep->ring.

>This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
>differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations
>(e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the
>inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or
>the callers, so they constitute bugs.
>
>Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
>positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
>the bug.
>
>Builds with CONFIG_USB_CDNSP_GADGET=y show no new warnings,
>and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
