[PATCH] usb: chipidea: otg: fix invalid role name print when no current role

From: Xu Yang

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 01:58:13 EST


From: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@xxxxxxx>

ci_handle_id_switch() prints the role transition via ci_role(ci)->name
for the current role, but when ci->role is CI_ROLE_END (no role
assigned yet), ci_role(ci) call BUG_ON() and return ci->roles[CI_ROLE_END]
which is NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference in the debug print.

This can happen if ci_role_start() fails during a role switch, since
ci_role_stop() has already set ci->role to CI_ROLE_END.

Fix it by printing "none" instead of dereferencing ci_role(ci)->name
when ci->role is CI_ROLE_END.
