usb: typec: mux: Fix typec_switch_match()

The fwnode_typec_switch_get() sporadically returns NULL instead of an
-EPROBE_DEFER for orientation-switch described in DT. This makes it
impossible to discern whether the DT does describe an orientation-switch
which did not probe yet, or whether the DT does not describe the switch.
This happens with gpio-sbu-mux connected to an I2C GPIO expander.

The class_find_device() on typec_switch_match() may return NULL in case
the mux did not probe just yet early on boot. The sw_devs[] array can be
empty on boot as well. If these two conditions occur, then the conditional
if (to_typec_switch_dev(dev) == sw_devs[i]) evaluates to true and the match
function returns NULL, which propagates to fwnode_typec_switch_get() which
makes it look as if the orientation-switch was not described in DT.

This is incorrect, because the mux driver will probe a bit later on, but
at that point, the caller of fwnode_typec_switch_get() already got the
NULL return value. The NULL return value also does not trigger IS_ERR(),
therefore the caller driver interprets this as if the orientation-switch
is not described in DT, and does not return -EPROBE_DEFER to try again,
even if it should.

Fix this by checking the class_find_device() return value, and return
-EPROBE_DEFER if it is NULL right away. If the return value is not NULL,
perform the deduplication test, and if that test passes, consider the
return value to be already non-NULL.
