commit ffebd90532728086007038986900426544e3df4e upstream.
The Type C ACPI device on older Chromebooks is not generated correctly
(since their EC firmware doesn't support the new commands required). In
such cases, the crafted ACPI device doesn't have an EC parent, and it is
therefore not useful (it shouldn't be generated in the first place since
the EC firmware doesn't support any of the Type C commands).
To handle devices which use these older firmware revisions, check for
the parent EC device handle, and fail the probe if it's not found.
Fixes: fdc6b21e2444 ("platform/chrome: Add Type C connector class driver")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
