xhci->rh_bw[vdev->real_port-1]

The problem came from https://bugs.96boards.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535
Also look at crbug.com/700041

Then the bug needs to be fixed, throwing a huge kernel trace message
into the kernel log is not "fixing" the problem at all, right?

You are right, the way that xhci_plat_remove() to be called needs to be fixed.
But there is still possibility for this crash.
What do you think if just add an "xhci_warn" instead of "WARN_ON"?
+       if (!vdev->real_port) {
+               xhci_warn(xhci, "Bad vdev->real_port\n");
+               goto out;
+       }
+


This patch solves the issue, just drop all the error messages.

vdev->real_port is not set until the the device enable/address
stage, and we know it won't have any children yet then, so no need to
worry about a child having tt pointers to this device.

The "goto out" to xhci_free_virt_device() you do is fine here.

xhci_plat_remove() is the .remove callback for the xhci platform driver.
It might get called before a device is properly enabled/addressed.
Not really a error. A unlikely but possible situation.

xhci_free_tt_info() already has a similar check
