[PATCH] Revert "tcpm: allow looking for role_sw device in the main node"

From: Xu Yang

Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 06:02:00 EST


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 NULL check to IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), usb_role_switch_get()
will return NULL pointer which will override ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) which
is returned by fwnode_usb_role_switch_get(). Then usb role switch can't be
obtained because the defer probe info is lost. So the unique error should
not be regarded the same as NULL.

Also correct a description in 1366cd228b0c ("tcpm: allow looking for
role_sw device in the main node"), if the ports are defined in the tcpc
main node, NULL pointer is returned by fwnode_usb_role_switch_get()
instead of an error.
