Sorry, I may have missed something, but do we need to call this
function with ports at all?

static void typec_altmode_release(struct device *dev)
{
        struct altmode *alt = to_altmode(to_typec_altmode(dev));
 
-       typec_altmode_put_partner(alt);
+       if (!is_typec_port(dev->parent))
+               typec_altmode_put_partner(alt);
 
        altmode_id_remove(alt->adev.dev.parent, alt->id);
        kfree(alt);
        ...

thanks,
