Subject: [PATCH 3.2 045/115] USB: usb_driver_claim_interface: add sanity
 checking

3.2.80-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.com>

commit 0b818e3956fc1ad976bee791eadcbb3b5fec5bfd upstream.

Attacks that trick drivers into passing a NULL pointer
to usb_driver_claim_interface() using forged descriptors are
known. This thwarts them by sanity checking.
