[PATCH 1/2] usb: fix cleanup after failure in hub_configure()

From: Krzysztof Mazur
Date: Tue Aug 20 2013 - 13:36:46 EST


If the hub_configure() fails after setting the hdev->maxchild
the hub->ports might be NULL or point to uninitialized kzallocated
memory causing NULL pointer dereference in hub_quiesce() during cleanup.

Now after such error the hdev->maxchild is set to 0 to avoid cleanup
of uninitialized ports.
