In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: tcpm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in tcpm_pd_svdm()

It is possible that typec_register_partner() returns ERR_PTR on failure. When port->partner is an error, a NULL pointer dereference may occur as shown below.

[91222.095236][ T319] typec port0: failed to register partner (-17) ...

Add a check for port->partner to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer.
