commit 53e5f36fbd2453ad69a3369a1db62dc06c30a4aa upstream.

UBSAN complains about a left shift by -1 in proc_do_submiturb(). This can occur when an URB is submitted for a bulk or control endpoint on a high-speed device, since the code doesn't bother to check the endpoint type; normally only interrupt or isochronous endpoints have a nonzero bInterval value.

Aside from the fact that the operation is illegal, it shouldn't matter because the result isn't used. Still, in theory it could cause a hardware exception or other problem, so we should work around it. This patch avoids doing the left shift unless the shift amount is >= 0.

The same piece of code has another problem. When checking the device speed (the exponential encoding for interrupt endpoints is used only by high-speed or faster devices), we need to look for speed >= USB_SPEED_SUPER as well as speed == USB_SPEED HIGH. The patch adds this check.
