From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org

commit 2339536d229df25c71c0900fc619289229bfecf6 upstream.

Make sure to kill the interrupt-in URB after a failed open request. Apart from saving power (and avoiding stale input after a later successful open), this also prevents a NULL-deref in the completion handler if the port is manually unbound.
