commit 7aa1bb2ffd84d6b9b5f546b079bb15cd0ab6e76e upstream.
With defective USB sticks we see the following error happen: usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-3: unable to get BOS descriptor set usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=5581 usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 ... BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

Tracking this down shows that udev->bos is NULL in the following code: (xhci.c, in xhci_set_usb2_hardware_lpm) field = le32_to_cpu(udev->bos->ext_cap->bmAttributes); <<<<<<< here
xhci_dbg(xhci, "%s port %d USB2 hardware LPM\n", enable ? "enable" : "disable", port_num + 1);
if (enable) { /* Host supports BESL timeout instead of HIRD */ if (udev->usb2_hw_lpm_besl_capable) { /* if device doesn't have a preferred BESL value use a * default one which works with mixed HIRD and BESL * systems. See XHCI_DEFAULT_BESL definition in xhci.h */ if ((field & USB_BESL_SUPPORT) && (field & USB_BESL_BASELINE_VALID)) hird = USB_GET_BESL_BASELINE(field); else hird = udev->l1_params.besl;
The failing case is when disabling LPM. So it is sufficient to avoid access to udev->bos by moving the instruction into the "enable" clause.
