From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> As reported by Dan Carpenter, there is a NULL check in udc_start() that follows a dereference of the pointer that's being checked. However, at that point udc pointer shouldn't ever be NULL and if it is, the dereference should cause an oops.
