[PATCH] usbcore: usb_set_configuration oops (NULL ptr dereference)

[Horst Schirmeier]

When trying to deconfigure a device via usb_set_configuration(dev, 0),
2.6.16-rc kernels after 55c527187c9d78f840b284d596a0b298bc1493af oops
with "Unable to handle NULL pointer dereference at...". This is due to
an unchecked dereference of cp in the power budget part.
