commit c69ff68b097b0f53333114f1b2c3dc128f389596 upstream. As part of the registration of a new 'struct usb_phy' with the USB PHY core via either usb_add_phy(struct usb_phy *x, ...) or usb_add_phy_dev(struct usb_phy *x) these functions call list_add_tail(&x->head, phy_list) in order for the new instance x to be stored in phy_list, a static list kept internally by the core. After7d21114dc6("usb: phy: Introduce one extcon device into usb phy") when executing either of the registration functions above it is possible that usb_add_extcon() fails, leading to either function returning before the call to list_add_tail(), leaving x->head uninitialized. Then, when a driver tries to undo the failed registration by calling usb_remove_phy(struct usb_phy *x) there will be an unconditional call to list_del(&x->head) acting on an uninitialized variable, and thus a possible NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by initializing x->head before usb_add_extcon() has a chance to fail. Note that this was not needed before7d21114dc6since list_add_phy() was executed unconditionally and it guaranteed that x->head was initialized.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
