[alsa-devel] [PATCH] [media] sound/usb: fix NULL dereference in usb_audio_probe()

[Nicolai Stange]

With commit

  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.
