This reverts commit 1366cd228b0c67b60a2c0c26ef37fe9f7cfedb7f.

The fwnode_usb_role_switch_get() returns NULL only if no connection is
found, returns ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) if connection is found but deferred
probe is needed, or a valid pointer of usb_role_switch.

When switching from a NULL check to IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), usb_role_switch_get()
returns NULL and overwrites the ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) returned by
fwnode_usb_role_switch_get(). This causes the deferred probe indication to
be lost, preventing the USB role switch from ever being retrieved.
