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 ?
