PATCH 1/1 xhci: host: potential NULL dereference in xhci_generic_plat_probe()

It's possible to exit the loop with "sysdev" set to NULL. In that case we should use "&pdev->dev".

Fixes ec5499d338ec ("xhci: split out rcar/rz support from xhci-plat.c")

Thanks for the fix!

I think this doesn't happen in practice because the loop should always find a firmware or PCI owned device, but it is clearly better to keep the original behavior from before my patch to be on the safe side here.
