Commit [1] introduced DP support to QMP driver. While doing so, the dp and usb configuration structures were added to a combo_phy_cfg structure. During probe, the match data is used to parse and identify the dp and usb configs separately. While doing so, the usb_cfg variable represents the configuration parameters for USB part of the phy (whether it is DP-Cobo or Uni). during probe, one corner case of parsing usb_cfg for Uni PHYs is left incomplete and it is left as NULL. This NULL variable further percolates down to qmp_phy_create() call essentially getting de-referenced and causing a crash.
Subsequently, commit [2] split the driver into multiple files, each handling a specific PHY type (USB, DP-Combo, UFS, PCIe). During this refactoring, the probing process was modified, and the NULL pointer dereference issue no longer showed up.
