Title
usb: typec: ucsi: displayport: Fix deadlock
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: displayport: Fix deadlock
This patch introduces the ucsi_con_mutex_lock / ucsi_con_mutex_unlock
functions to the UCSI driver. ucsi_con_mutex_lock ensures the connector
mutex is only locked if a connection is established and the partner pointer
is valid. This resolves a deadlock scenario where
ucsi_displayport_remove_partner holds con->mutex waiting for
dp_altmode_work to complete while dp_altmode_work attempts to acquire it.
