From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Pointer adev is being dereferenced before it is being sanity
checked with a null pointer check, hence it is possible for
a null pointer dereference to occur. Fix this by dereferencing
adev only once it is null checked.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1471598 ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 8a37d87d72f0 ("usb: typec: Bus type for alternate modes")
