[PATCH 2/8] can: esd_usb: esd_usb_disconnect(): fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Vincent Mailhol
Date: Sat Dec 03 2022 - 08:32:47 EST


esd_usb sets the usb_interface to NULL before waiting for the
completion of outstanding urbs. This can result in NULL pointer
dereference, c.f. [1] and [2].

Remove the call to usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL). The core will take
care of setting it to NULL after esd_usb_disconnect() at [3].

[1] commit 27ef17849779 ("usb: add usb_set_intfdata() documentation")

[2] thread about usb_set_intfdata() on linux-usb mailing.

[3] function usb_unbind_interface() from drivers/usb/core/driver.c
