[PATCH 1/2] usb: musb: sunxi: propagate devicetree node to glue pdev

[Bin Liu]

From: Mans Rullgard <mans@mansr.com>

In order for devicetree nodes to be correctly associated with attached
devices, the controller node needs to be propagated to the glue device.

Does this need to go to stable kernel(s)?  If so, what commit does this
fix fix?

No, I'd say it's a new feature.

Then why is it needed for 5.5-final and not for 5.6-rc1?

Right, it shouldn't be needed in 5.5.

[PATCH 2/2] usb: musb: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in musb_handle_intr_connect()

[Bin Liu]

From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com>

In musb_handle_intr_connect(), there is an if statement on line 783 to
check whether musb->hcd is NULL:
    if (musb->hcd)

When musb->hcd is NULL, it is used on line 797:
    musb_host_poke_root_hub(musb);
        if (musb->hcd->status_urb)

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, musb->hcd is checked before calling
musb_host_poke_root_hub().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

Maybe, if musb->hcd really ever could be NULL.

In looking at the code, I don't see where that could happen, do you?
Why is that check there in the first place?

What sets musb->hcd to NULL in the first place?

thanks,

In fact, my static analysis tool identifies an if check about musb->hcd, 
so it infers that musb->hcd could be NULL here.
But it does not try to find any explicit place that set musb->hcd to NULL.

If musb->hcd is never NULL here, we can just delete the related if check.


Best wishes,
Jia-Ju Bai

Can it do that?

Not yet...

Okay, I will send a new patch that delete the if check.
