Subject: [PATCH] USB: xhci: dbc: fix tty registration race

Make sure to allocate resources before registering the tty device to avoid having a racing open() and write() fail to enable rx or dereference a NULL pointer when accessing the uninitialised fifo.

Fixes dfba2174dc42 ("usb: xhci: Add DbC support in xHCI driver")
