This patch fixes a NULL Pointer exception when a device using the XHCI
controller driver is not properly initialized. It's relatively easy to
reproduce with a faulty connection to a USB Harddisk / USB Ethernet
adapter.
The way I used for testing this patch was to short USB D+/D- and pull
them to ground.
We manufacture our own USB devices and use Linux for testing, lately we
upgraded the system to Ubuntu noble with Kernel 6.8.0 and our system
also crashed multiple times just when plugging in some devices (no
commands need to be executed).
We connect/disconnect devices > 100 times (eg uploading firmware, do
electrical tests etc).
I would rate this issue as highly critical.
The problem is triggered via some fallback code in hub.c, a second
patch will follow which
removes the endpoint reset in the particular fallback.
