Pointer adev is being dereferenced before it is being sanity
checked with a null pointer check, hence it is possible for
a null pointer dereference to occur.  Fix this by dereferencing
adev only once it is null checked.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1471598 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 8a37d87d72f0 ("usb: typec: Bus type for alternate modes")
