This hunk is not necessary, the con pointer pointing to lala land is
not an issue as long as we don't deref it. The &ucsi->connector[num - 1];
does not deref ucsi->connector it it simply adds an offset to it and
stores that in con (the backtrace I got pointed to the schedule_work call).

But I guess your way does make it more obvious that we don't
deref ucsi->connector.

In would expect this to fix things, but I only have access to the monitor
triggering this on Mondays, so I can only 100% confirm next Monday.

Note this does open the race I try to fix in patch 2/3 again.

So what should be done here is to make ntfy a local variable and only
store it in ucsi->ntfy on success.
