Commit [1] introduced DP support to QMP driver. While doing so, the
dp and usb configuration structures were added to a combo_phy_cfg
structure. During probe, the match data is used to parse and identify the
dp and usb configs separately. While doing so, the usb_cfg variable
represents the configuration parameters for USB part of the phy (whether
it is DP-Cobo or Uni). during probe, one corner case of parsing usb_cfg
for Uni PHYs is left incomplete and it is left as NULL. This NULL variable
further percolates down to qmp_phy_create() call essentially getting
de-referenced and causing a crash.
Subsequently, commit [2] split the driver into multiple files, each
handling a specific PHY type (USB, DP-Combo, UFS, PCIe). During this
refactoring, the probing process was modified, and the NULL pointer
dereference issue no longer showed up.
