[PATCH v2 1/2] usb: dwc3: host: fix dangling xhci pointer on init failure

[David Collin]

dwc3_host_init()'s error path frees xhci via platform_device_put()
but never clears dwc->xhci, leaving a dangling pointer that
dwc3_host_exit() dereferences unconditionally on removal/shutdown.
Clear dwc->xhci on the error path and return early from
dwc3_host_exit() if NULL.

[PATCH v2 2/2] usb: dwc3: host: fix props[] overflow when all quirks are enabled

[David Collin]

props[] is sized for exactly the number of properties
dwc3_host_init() can populate, leaving no slot for the NULL
terminator property_entries_dup() requires when usb3_lpm_capable,
usb2_lpm_disable, and the <=3.00a PED quirk are all true. Size
props[] for one more slot.
