This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: hub: Fix crash after failure to read BOS descriptor
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: usb: hub: Fix crash after failure to read BOS descriptor
If usb_get_bos_descriptor() returns an error, usb->bos will be NULL.
Nevertheless, it is dereferenced unconditionally in
hub_set_initial_usb2_lpm_policy() if usb2_hw_lpm_capable is set.
This results in a crash.

Since we don't know anything about LPM capabilities without BOS descriptor,
don't attempt to enable LPM if it is not available.
