[v2,0/4] usb: typec: USB Modes

Message

Hi,

Changed since v1:
- Leaving the usb_mode file hidden if the usb_ capabilities are not known - Dmitriy
- Fixed kernel doc warning - kernel test robot


This was originally a proposal of mine that I posted back in 2019 as
an RFC [1].

The goal is to expose the USB Mode - USB Mode as defined in the USB
Type-C and USB Power Delivery specifications - to the user via sysfs.

With ports the mode will show the supported and the default USB Mode,
which is the mode that is (or should be) used in the next Enter_USB
Message.

With the partners the mode will show similarly the supported USB
modes, and also the active mode. Changing the active mode should cause
Data Reset (as described in the USB Power Delivery spec.). This should
happen even if there is no active USB Mode (in Alternate Mode).

I've modified the original RFC patches based on comments I've received
(offline). The major change is that I renamed the sysfs attribute file
for the port from "usb_mode" to "usb_capability".

I'm taking the USB mode in use in the UCSI driver with these, but I
did not add support for the "Set USB" UCSI command yet. I have no way
of testing it. Also, I don't really like that we have to construct the
Enter_USB Message from the abstracted information that UCSI supplies.
The interface should supply the Enter_USB Message that was used as is.
