[PATCH v2 6/9] can: ucan: ucan_disconnect(): fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Vincent Mailhol
Date: Sat Dec 10 2022 - 04:05:29 EST


ucan sets the driver's priv data to NULL before waiting for the
completion of outsdanding urbs. This can results 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 ucan_disconnect() at [3].

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