This patch introduces a priority sysfs attribute to the USB Type-C
alternate mode port interface. This new attribute allows user-space to
configure the numeric priority of alternate modes managing their preferred
order of operation.

Maybe patch 4/5 could be squashed into this patch, and I'm wondering
would it make sense to just keep the typec_mode_set_priority() in this
file (drivers/usb/typec/class.c).

However, in the next series, it will be the only user of the priority variable. So I'd prefer to keep it there, if you don’t mind. I think putting it in class.c would create a mess. Thank you for the review! Andrei
