Subject: [media] mceusb: fix NULL-deref at probe

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit 03eb2a557ed552e920a0942b774aaf931596eec1 upstream.

Make sure to check for the required out endpoint to avoid dereferencing a NULL-pointer in mce_request_packet should a malicious device lack such an endpoint. Note that this path is hit during probe.

Fixes 66e89522aff7 ("V4L/DVB: IR: add mceusb IR receiver driver")
