Subject: Coverity: ucsi_check_cable(): Null pointer dereferences

Hello!

This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20240307 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan

You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:

  Tue Mar 5 13:11:08 2024 +0000
    f896d5e8726c ("usb: typec: ucsi: Register SOP/SOP' Discover Identity Responses")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1584245:  Null pointer dereferences  (FORWARD_NULL)
drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi.c:1136 in ucsi_check_cable()
1130     	}
1131
1132     	ret = ucsi_register_cable(con);
1133     	if (ret < 0)
1134     		return ret;
1135
vvv     CID 1584245:  Null pointer dereferences  (FORWARD_NULL)
vvv     Passing "con" to "ucsi_get_cable_identity", which dereferences null "con->cable".
1136     	ret = ucsi_get_cable_identity(con);
1137     	if (ret < 0)
1138     		return ret;
1139
1140     	ret = ucsi_register_plug(con);
1141     	if (ret < 0)

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
