The code that creates the links to the USB ports attached to
a connector inside the system assumed that the ACPI nodes
(fwnodes) always exist for the connectors, but it can not do
that.
There is no guarantee that every USB Type-C connector has
ACPI device node representing it in the ACPI tables, and
even if there are the nodes in the ACPI tables, the _STA
method in those nodes may still return 0 (which means the
device does not exist from ACPI PoW).
This fixes NULL pointer dereference that happens if the
nodes are missing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
