patch "usb: renesas_usbhs: avoid NULL pointer derefernce in" added to usb-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

usb: renesas_usbhs: avoid NULL pointer derefernce in

to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: usb: renesas_usbhs: avoid NULL pointer derefernce in
usbhsf_pkt_handler()

When unexpected situation happened (e.g. tx/rx irq happened while DMAC is used), the usbhsf_pkt_handler() was possible to cause NULL pointer dereference like the followings:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = c0004000

This patch adds a condition to avoid the dereference.
