In actual, this condition should never occur as only USB Type-C is 
supported  in this ASL method but i think it's ok to add this check, if 
there is any benefit.

In this case, is it recommended to add such case like  !ucdd_supported?

Also, if new device id like type-a etc..  is added in future then we 
need to include corresponding device id supported also in this check to 
make sysfs visible.

If new device id is added in future then we need to add additional flag 
to control visibility of sysfs .

At this moment , i cant see anything obvious to be simplified 
in hwdd_detail_show() . Did i missed something ?
