Hi!

There is a potential bug in drivers/usb/gadget/udc/m66592-udc.ko.
In m66592_probe interrupts are requested at line 1612. After that 
initialization of common resources is continued. For example, in

-> usb_add_gadget_udc (line 1678)
   -> usb_add_gadget_udc_release
     -> udc_bind_to_driver
       -> usb_gadget_udc_start
         -> m66592_udc_start

m66592->driver is set. In interrupt handler the data is used, thus if 
interrupt comes before udc_start is executed, null pointer dereference 
occurs.
Should the call of request_irq be after complete initialization?
