Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: xhci_plat_remove: avoid NULL dereference

Since commit 4736ebd7fcaff1eb8481c140ba494962847d6e0a ("usb: host:
xhci-plat: omit shared hcd if either root hub has no ports")
xhci->shared_hcd can be NULL, which causes the following Oops
