Its a valid use case to call ehci_submit_async() with a NULL buffer
with length 0. E.g. from usb_set_configuration().
As invalidate_dcache_range() isn't able to judge if the address
NULL is valid or not (depending on the SoC hardware configuration it
might be valid) do the check in ehci_submit_async() as here we know
that we don't have to invalidate such a buffer.

Notes:
This was found on an older vendor specific U-Boot on an ARMv8 SoC
with a MMU configuration where address 0x00000000 is invalid.
The callstack I've seen is
usb_set_configuration(), calls
-> usb_control_msg() with *data == NULL and size == 0
-> submit_control_msg()
-> _ehci_submit_control_msg()
-> ehci_submit_async()
ehci_submit_async() called __asm_invalidate_dcache_range() from
arch/arm/cpu/armv8/cache.S, then. Resulting in an exception trying
to use address 0 in x0 (dc ivac, x0).
I'm slightly unsure why this hasn't been catched or complained about
previously, already. Maybe I missed anything while working with an older
vendor U-Boot? Sorry in this case.
Best regards
Dirk
