If usb_add_hcd() fails in vhci_hcd_probe() (i.e., a probe failure), the error path calls usb_remove_hcd() and also sets pdev->dev.driver_data to NULL.

Consequently, any subsequent call to platform_get_drvdata(pdev) (which returns pdev->dev.driver_data) may yield NULL, causing a crash if that pointer is dereferenced.

Fix this by adding a sanity check to ensure "hcd" is non-NULL before proceeding with further operations.

Fixes 03cd00d538a6 ("usbip: vhci-hcd: Set the vhci structure up to work")

Empty line net really needed here...

Thanks for spotting this Sergey. Just send out patch v2 which fixes this.
