This patch series introduces a flexible mechanism for USB Type-C mode
selection, enabling into USB4 mode, Thunderbolt alternate mode, or
DisplayPort alternate mode.
New sysfs attributes are exposed to provide user control over mode
selection:
`priority`, `usb4_priority`: Allows users to define their preferred order
for attempting mode entry.
`mode_priorities`: Lists the modes supported by the port, ordered by
priority.
`mode_selection`: Lists modes supported by the partner and triggers an
automatic mode negotiation.
`entry_result`, `usb4_entry_result`: Reports the status of the last mode
selection attempt.
The mode selection logic attempts to enter prioritized modes sequentially.
A mode is considered successfully negotiated only when its alternate mode
driver explicitly reports a positive status. Alternate mode drivers are
required to report their mode entry status (either successful or failed).
If the driver does not report its status within a defined timeout period,
the system automatically proceeds to attempt entry into the next preferred
mode.
This series was tested on a ChromeOS Brya device running kernel 6.6, and on
an Android OS device with kernel 6.16.
Changes in v3:
- The mode_priorities sysfs attribute has been made read-only.
- The mode_selection attribute now exclusively lists partner-supported
modes, with mode entry results reported via separate attributes.
- The driver returns mode entry results instead of error codes.
- Constant values are used in place of module parameters.
