In musb_handle_intr_connect(), musb->hcd should be non-null,
so the check of musb->hcd on line 783 could be dropped.
Have you verified that this is always the case? How did you do that?

Ah, so sorry, I misunderstood your last message...
I have not verified it, but I thought you made sure of it from your last message, sorry...

In my opinion, adding an if check is safer, as shown in my last patch:
"usb: musb: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in musb_handle_intr_connect()"

I recall that Bin Liu has applied my last patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11283007/

Maybe we can listen to his opinion or other people's opinions?
