It is possible that the driver of the mux device has been unbind by the time typec_mux_put() or typec_switch_put() is called. To prevent the NULL Pointer Dereference from happening in this case when decrementing the reference count of the module by using dev->driver->owner, storing the module handle to the mux and switch data structures, and using the stored value instead.
