[PATCH] usb: typec: tcpm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in tcpm_pd_svdm()
From: Jimmy Hu
Date: Thu Oct 19 2023 - 02:06:29 EST
It is possible that typec_register_partner() returns ERR_PTR on failure.
When port->partner is an error, a NULL pointer dereference may occur as
shown below.

Add a check for port->partner to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer.
