[PATCH 6.12 165/242] usb: cdns3: gadget: fix NULL pointer dereference in ep_queue

From: Yongchao Wu <yongchao.wu@autochips.com>

commit 7f6f127b9bc34bed35f56faf7ecb1561d6b39000 upstream.

When the gadget endpoint is disabled or not yet configured, the ep->desc
pointer can be NULL. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference when
__cdns3_gadget_ep_queue() is called, causing a kernel crash.

Add a check to return -ESHUTDOWN if ep->desc is NULL, which is the
standard return code for unconfigured endpoints.

This prevents potential crashes when ep_queue is called on endpoints
that are not ready.
