Because of UCSI, we have to support alt mode enter/exit reporting even when there is no alt mode driver bind to the alt mode device. With UCSI a firmware handles the alternate modes, and the modes are entered automatically from OS PoW. Changing typec_altmode_update_active() so that the driver module ref count is incremented/decremented only if there really is a driver for the alt mode. That avoids a NULL pointer dereference from happening when the driver is missing.
