Hi,

When booting a rockpro64-v2 with a kernel built from commit dd81e1c7d5fb
("Merge tag 'powerpc-5.17-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux"),
which was the latest commit when ran the tests, I encounter a NULL pointer
dereference:

I tried bisecting the bug and the first bad commit is 730b49aac426 ("usb:
typec: port-mapper: Convert to the component framework"). I tried to double
check that the patch is indeed responsible by reverting it from master, but
I got this build error:

drivers/usb/typec/port-mapper.c: In function 'typec_link_ports':
drivers/usb/typec/port-mapper.c:256:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'usb_for_each_port'; did you mean 'usb_for_each_dev'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  256 |         ret = usb_for_each_port(&con->dev, each_port);
      |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |               usb_for_each_dev

I tried building and booting from the bad commit, and I got the same NULL
pointer dereference error. When building from the last good commit
(8c67d06f3fd9 ("usb: Link the ports to the connectors they are attached
to")), the board boots just fine. The log when booting from the good commit
can be found at [3].

I can help with debugging and testing, but I'm not familiar enough with the
USB subsystem to fix it myself.
