musb_start_urb() doesn't check the pass-in parameter if it is NULL. But in musb_bulk_nak_timeout() the parameter passed to musb_start_urb() is returned from first_qh(), which could be NULL. So wrap the musb_start_urb() call here with a if condition check to avoid the potential NULL pointer dereference.
