Subject: [PATCH 5.10 053/120] thunderbolt: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in tb_acpi_add_link()

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@...l.com>

commit 4d395c5e74398f664405819330e5a298da37f655 upstream.

When we walk up the device hierarchy in tb_acpi_add_link() make sure we
break the loop if the device has no parent. Otherwise we may crash the
kernel by dereferencing a NULL pointer.
