is called through usb_set_interface(), and usb_ifnum_to_if() continues
to access interface[i]->altsetting[i], triggering a null pointer.

This looks like a bug in the uvc driver. usb_disable_device() unbinds
ther interface's driver before it sets dev->actconfig->interface[i] to
NULL, and the uvc driver shouldn't call usb_set_interface() after it has
been unbound.
Thank you for your correction.
To resolve this issue, a null pointer check for config->interface[i]
can be added in the usb_ifnum_to_if() function.
That won't fix the real bug. You need to change the uvc driver.
I will fix this issue from the uvc driver and submit a patch.
