Subject: [PATCH 5.4 153/168] usb: typec: altmode: Fix typec_altmode_get_partner sometimes returning an invalid pointer

From: Naoki Kiryu <naonaokiryu2@...il.com>

commit 0df9433fcae02215c8fd79690c134d535c7bb905 upstream.

Before this commit, typec_altmode_get_partner would return a
const struct typec_altmode * pointing to address 0x08 when
to_altmode(adev)->partner was NULL.

Add a check for to_altmode(adev)->partner being NULL to fix this.
