[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 039/104] usb: xhci: Allow usb_add/remove_hcd() to be called repeatedly
From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Oct 26 2015 - 10:16:53 EST
3.16.7-ckt19 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Roger Quadros <rogerq@xxxxxx>
commit 8a853759c262fd52ff0f5e89f89c65928077fe4a upstream.
Don't set xhci->shared_hcd to NULL in xhci_stop() as we have
still not de-allocated it. It was resulting in a NULL pointer
de-reference if usb_add/remove_hcd() is called repeatedly.
We want repeated add/remove to work for the OTG use case.
