usb: typec: ucsi: Prevent mode overrun
Sometimes the embedded controller firmware does not terminate the list of alternate modes that the partner supports in its response to the GET_ALTERNATE_MODES command. Instead the firmware returns the supported alternate modes over and over again until the driver stops requesting them. If that happens, the number of modes for each alternate mode will exceed the maximum 6 that is defined in the USB Power Delivery specification. Making sure that can't happen by adding a check for it. This fixes NULL pointer dereference that is caused by the overrun.
