From 8a853759c262fd52ff0f5e89f89c65928077fe4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Quadros Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 17:01:48 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] usb: xhci: Allow usb_add/remove_hcd() to be called repeatedly Don't set xhci->shared_hcd to NULL in xhci_stop() as we have still not de-allocated it. It was resulting in a NULL pointer de-reference if usb_add/remove_hcd() is called repeatedly. We want repeated add/remove to work for the OTG use case.
