From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In case one "forgot" to load the receiver i.e. doing |modprobe omap2430 |modprobe musb_hdrc he ends up with: |musb-hdrc: version 6.0, ?dma?, otg (peripheral+host) |HS USB OTG: no transceiver configured |musb-hdrc musb-hdrc: musb_init_controller failed with status -19 |(NULL device *): gadget not registered. |Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001c |Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] SMP |[<c011383c>] (sysfs_find_dirent+0x4/0x60) from [<c01138c0>] (sysfs_get_dirent+0x28/0x78) |[<c01138c0>] (sysfs_get_dirent+0x28/0x78) from [<c0115b78>] (sysfs_unmerge_group+0x1c/0x90) |[<c0115b78>] (sysfs_unmerge_group+0x1c/0x90) from [<c0179ba4>] (dpm_sysfs_remove+0x14/0x3c) |[<c0179ba4>] (dpm_sysfs_remove+0x14/0x3c) from [<c01742f8>] (device_del+0x40/0x1b4) |[<c01742f8>] (device_del+0x40/0x1b4) from [<c0174478>] (device_unregister+0xc/0x18) |[<c0174478>] (device_unregister+0xc/0x18) from [<bf0489b4>] (musb_free+0x24/0x88 [musb_hdrc]) |[<bf0489b4>] (musb_free+0x24/0x88 [musb_hdrc]) from [<bf057d18>] (musb_probe+0xb50/0xe3c [musb_hdrc]) |[<bf057d18>] (musb_probe+0xb50/0xe3c [musb_hdrc]) from [<c01779c4>] (platform_drv_probe+0x1c/0x24) The problem is that musb_free() tries to figure out what was initializued and what wasn't and clean up only the initialized part. This works well for usb_del_gadget_udc() but device_unregister() can't deal with it. Therefore we rely on the fact the we always have a parent device and only then remove the device.
