Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] xhci: Add an assertion to check for virt_dev=0 bug.

From: Matt Evans <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:40:56 +1100

During a "plug-unplug" stress test on an NEC xHCI card, a null pointer
dereference was observed.  xhci_address_device() dereferenced a null
virt_dev (possibly an erroneous udev->slot_id?); this patch adds a WARN_ON &
message to aid debug if it can be recreated.
