Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: net2280: fix NULL pointer deref in usb_reinit_338x()
Author: kartikey406@xxxxxxxxx
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git for-kernelci
net2280_probe() only maps dev->llregs when the PLX_PCIE quirk bit is
set. usb_reinit() dispatches to usb_reinit_338x() for any device that
doesn't have PLX_LEGACY set, assuming such a device must have
PLX_PCIE set (and thus llregs mapped). That assumption holds for
every entry in the driver's pci_device_id table, but a forced driver
bind (e.g. via sysfs bind/driver_override) can invoke probe() with
quirks that have neither bit set, leaving llregs NULL and crashing
in usb_reinit_338x() on the first readl().
Reject probe() early when quirks has neither PLX_LEGACY nor
PLX_PCIE set, instead of proceeding into a reinit path that assumes
one of them is always present.
