Subject: [PATCH 5.14 040/151] USB: xhci: dbc: fix tty registration race

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 880de403777376e50bdf60def359fa50a722006f upstream.

Make sure to allocate resources before registering the tty device to
avoid having a racing open() and write() fail to enable rx or
dereference a NULL pointer when accessing the uninitialised fifo.

Fixes: dfba2174dc42 ("usb: xhci: Add DbC support in xHCI driver")
