Subject: [PATCH v1] usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: add null pointer check
 for sysfs nodes

The DisplayPort driver's sysfs nodes may be present to the userspace before
typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe. This means that
a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by deferencing dp->hpd in
hpd_show or dp->lock in pin_assignment_show, as dev_get_drvdata() returns
NULL in those cases.

Verify dp drvdata is present in sysfs reads and writes before proceeding.
