[PATCH] usb: typec: fix potential NULL dereference
From: Maxim Korotkov
Date: Mon Apr 17 2023 - 15:50:49 EST
The pointer 'adev' was being dereferenced before being checked for NULL
in the 'type_alt mode_enter()' and 'type_alt mode_exit()' functions.
Although this is a hypothetical issue, it's better to move the pointer
assignment after the NULL check to avoid any potential problems.
Found by Linux Verification Center with Svace static analyzer.
Fixes: 8a37d87d72f0 ("usb: typec: Bus type for alternate modes")
