aebb2b89bff0 ("[media] sound/usb: Use Media Controller API to share media resources")
an access to quirk->media_device without checking for quirk != NULL has been introduced in usb_audio_probe().
With a Plantronics USB headset (device ID 0x047f:0xc010) attached, this results in the following splat at boot time:

After encountering this, the system-udevd process seems to be blocked until it is killed when hitting its timeout of 3min.
In analogy to the other accesses to members of quirk in usb_audio_probe(), check for quirk != NULL before accessing its ->media_device.
