We're seeing lots of build problems and warnings with Clang 17 and Clang nightly:

xhci: fix possible null pointer deref during xhci urb enqueue
[ Upstream commit e2e2aacf042f52854c92775b7800ba668e0bdfe4 ]
Reverting the patch makes the build pass.
Thanks, will drop. Odd that gcc doesn't catch this as well :(
I have never been able to track down the reason, but gcc on many if not
most architectures doesn't catch problems like this. I often see a warning
pointing to a real problem on, say, parisc builds but not elsewhere, even
though the compiler version is the same.
The above problem is seen because commit e34900f46cd6 ("xhci: Reconfigure
endpoint 0 max packet size only during endpoint reset") removed the call
to xhci_check_maxpacket(), but that commit is not in stable releases.
