PATCH v2 1/1 usb: typec: tcpm: Add NULL check before dereferencing config

When instantiating tcpm on an NXP OM 13588 board with NXP PTN5110, the following crash is seen when writing into the 'preferred_role' sysfs attribute.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000028

Since commit 96232cbc6c994 ("usb: typec: tcpm: support get typec and pd config from device properties"), the 'config' pointer in struct tcpc_dev is optional when registering a Type-C port. Since it is optional, we have to check if it is NULL before dereferencing it.

This time the Linux system is an Acme Systems Arietta which is a Atmel at91sam9g25 based board. Test was run with lk 5.1.19 . Without the patch I got the oops described above ("PC is at tcpm_try_role+0x40/0x74 [tcpm]") when writing into the 'preferred_role' sysfs attribute. With this patch it worked okay.

Can't test the "out of protocol" PD Attention command oops because I don't have another OM13588 at the other end (of the USB-C cable) to send it. I may be able to solve that problem as well. The OM13588 seems like a good attack vector ... and NXP continue to improve its software (I'm talking about when it runs with a KL27Z which is an Arduino clone). It can now read the current capability of an E-marked USB-C (M to M) cable. The only 5 Amp cable I have is the one that Apple sells (as an _extra_ (cheapskates) to their 87W USB-C power adapter (for MacBooks)).

Today I tried this patch on lk 5.2.5 with the same hardware and it worked, as expected.
