Subject[PATCH] drivers/usb/host: Eliminate NULL dereference
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

The test above allows std to be NULL, so check that std is not NULL before
doing the dereference.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
expression E,E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

if ((E == NULL && ...) || ...)
{
... when != if (...) S1 else S2
when != E = E1
* E->f
... when any
}
else S3
// </smpl>
