If for whatever reason we fall into fail path in xhci_mem_init() before bw table gets initialized we may access the uninitialized lists in xhci_mem_cleanup(). Check for bw table before traversing lists in cleanup routine. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, that contain the commit 839c817ce67178ca3c7c7ad534c571bba1e69ebe "xhci: Store information about roothubs and TTs."
