Description
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's USB dwc3-am62.c driver, where improper checks may lead to a kernel panic or a module reload failure. This issue occurs because when the .remove() function is called, the module might already be in a runtime-suspended state, meaning the hardware may be powered off. However, the function still attempts to interact with the registers and clocks, possibly leading to system or USB device instability.
