What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

phy: ti: phy-omap-usb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference for SRP

If the external phy working together with phy-omap-usb2 does not implement

send_srp(), we may still attempt to call it. This can happen on an idle

Ethernet gadget triggering a wakeup for example:

configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: ECM Suspend

configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: Port suspended. Triggering wakeup

...

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

00000000 when execute

...

PC is at 0x0

LR is at musb_gadget_wakeup+0x1d4/0x254 [musb_hdrc]

Let's fix the issue by checking for send_srp() and set_vbus() before

calling them. For USB peripheral only cases these both could be NULL.
