From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> the_controller is allocated in dummy_hcd_probe() and is NULL if the allocation failed. The probe function of the udc driver is dereferencing this pointer and fault. Alan Stern suggested to abort the dummy_hcd driver probing so the module is not loaded. The is abort-on-error has been also added to the udc driver.
