Since commit 96232cbc6c994 ("usb: typec: tcpm: support get typec and pd
config from device properties"), the 'config' pointer in struct tcpc_dev
is optional when registering a Type-C port. Since it is optional, we have
to check if it is NULL before dereferencing it.

Doug:
I didn't add your Tested-by: since I added more code.
It would be great if you can re-test.

This time the Linux system is an Acme Systems Arietta which is a
Atmel at91sam9g25 based board. Test was run with lk 5.1.19 .
Without the patch I got the oops described above ("PC is at
tcpm_try_role+0x40/0x74 [tcpm]") when writing into the 'preferred_role'
sysfs attribute. With this patch it worked okay.
Can't test the "out of protocol" PD Attention command oops because I
don't have another OM13588 at the other end (of the USB-C cable) to
send it. I may be able to solve that problem as well. The OM13588
seems like a good attack vector ... and NXP continue to improve
its software (I'm talking about when it runs with a KL27Z which is
an Arduino clone). It can now read the current capability of an
E-marked USB-C (M to M) cable. The only 5 Amp cable I have is
the one that Apple sells (as an _extra_ (cheapskates) to their 87W
USB-C power adapter (for MacBooks)).
