[PATCH] usb: usbtest: fix NULL pointer dereference in usbtest_probe

From: Aleksandr Nogikh <[email protected]>

The usbtest driver relies on the driver_info field of the usb_device_id
structure to hold a pointer to a struct usbtest_info, which contains
necessary configuration for the device. When a new device ID is dynamically
added via the sysfs new_id interface without specifying a reference device,
the driver_info field defaults to 0. When the USB core binds the device
using this dynamic ID, usbtest_probe() unconditionally casts the 0 to a
pointer, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting to access
the autoconf bitfield (at offset 0xa) of the struct usbtest_info.

This leads to the following crash:

Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xdffffc0000000001: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]

To fix this, validate that id->driver_info is not NULL before proceeding
with the probe. If it is NULL, gracefully return -ENODEV. The check is
placed before any memory allocation to avoid unnecessary work and simplify
error handling.
