The driver must make sure there is an actual connection before checking details about the USB Power Delivery contract. Those details are not valid unless there is a connection. This fixes NULL pointer dereference that is caused by an attempt to register bogus partner alternate mode that the firmware on some platform may report before the actual connection.
