[PATCH v3] usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: create sysfs nodes as driver's default device attribute group

[RD Babiera]

The DisplayPort driver's sysfs nodes may be present to the userspace before
typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe. This means that
a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by deferencing dp->hpd in
hpd_show or dp->lock in pin_assignment_show, as dev_get_drvdata() returns
NULL in those cases.

Remove manual sysfs node creation in favor of adding attribute group as
default for devices bound to the driver. The ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro is
not used here otherwise the path to the sysfs nodes is no longer compliant
with the ABI.

Changes from v1:
* Moved sysfs node creation instead of NULL checking dev_get_drvdata().
Changes from v2:
* Removed manual sysfs node creation, now added as default device group in
driver.
