[PATCH] USB: gadget: g_fs: possible invalid pointer reference bug fixed

From: Michal Nazarewicz
Date: Mon Jun 14 2010 - 04:43:29 EST


During __gfs_do_config() some invalid pointers may be left
in usb_configuration::interfaces array from previous calls
to the __gfs_do_config() for the same configuration. This
will always happen if an user space function which has
a fewer then the last user space function registers itself.
Composite's set_config() function that a pointer after the
last interface in usb_configuration::interface is NULL
unless the array is full.

This patch makes the __gfs_do_config() make sure that if the
usb_configuration::interface is not full then a pointer
after the last interface is NULL.
