In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb:
typec: altmodes/displayport: create sysfs nodes as driver’s default device
attribute group The DisplayPort driver’s sysfs nodes may be present to the
userspace before typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe.
This means that a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by
deferencing dp->hpd in hpd_show or dp->lock in pin_assignment_show, as
dev_get_drvdata() returns NULL in those cases. Remove manual sysfs node
creation in favor of adding attribute group as default for devices bound to
the driver. The ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro is not used here otherwise the
path to the sysfs nodes is no longer compliant with the ABI.
