Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: dwc2: gadget: don't reset gadget's driver->bus

UDC driver should not touch gadget's driver internals, especially it
should not reset driver->bus. This wasn't harmful so far, but since
commit fc274c1e9973 ("USB: gadget: Add a new bus for gadgets") gadget
subsystem got it's own bus and messing with ->bus triggers the
following NULL pointer dereference:

dwc2 12480000.hsotg: bound driver g_ether

Fix this by removing driver->bus entry reset.
