The following NULL pointer exception was found during boot up: calling ucsi_acpi_platform_driver_init+0x0/0xff0 [ucsi_acpi] @ 394 initcall mac_hid_init+0x0/0xff0 [mac_hid] returned 0 after 5 usecs BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 Call Trace: ? ucsi_debugfs_unregister+0x15/0x30 [typec_ucsi] ucsi_destroy+0x17/0x30 [typec_ucsi] ucsi_acpi_probe+0x1d5/0x230 [ucsi_acpi] It is possible that ucsi_acpi_probe() fails to install the notifier, and calls ucsi_destroy() to release the resource. However at that moment the debugfs has not been registered yet, thus the NULL pointer exception is triggered. Add the check for debugfs pointer.
