This looks like a false positive to me. max_datagram_size is two bytes
declared as

	__le16 max_datagram_size;

and the code leading up to the access on drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c:587
is:

	/* read current mtu value from device */
	err = usbnet_read_cmd(dev, USB_CDC_GET_MAX_DATAGRAM_SIZE,
			      USB_TYPE_CLASS | USB_DIR_IN | USB_RECIP_INTERFACE,
			      0, iface_no, &max_datagram_size, 2);
	if (err < 0) {
		dev_dbg(&dev->intf->dev, "GET_MAX_DATAGRAM_SIZE failed\n");
		goto out;
	}

	if (le16_to_cpu(max_datagram_size) == ctx->max_datagram_size)



AFAICS, there is no way max_datagram_size can be uninitialized here.
usbnet_read_cmd() either read 2 bytes into it or returned an error,
causing the access to be skipped.  Or am I missing something?

I tried to read the syzbot manual to figure out how to tell this to the
bot, but couldn't find that either.  Not my day today it seems ;-)

Please let me know what to do about this.
