3.2.87-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4f9785cc99feeb3673993b471f646b4dbaec2cc1 upstream.
In case a device is left in "boot-mode" we must not register any port
devices in order to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference on open due to
missing endpoints. This could be used by a malicious device to trigger
an OOPS:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030
...

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- No heartbeat_work to initialise earlier
- No separate port_probe and port_remove operations, so add check for null
port pointers in edge_release()
- Adjust context]
