The mode selection process is controlled by the following API functions,
which allow to initiate and complete mode entry based on the priority of
each mode:
`typec_mode_selection_start` function compiles a priority list of supported
Alternate Modes.
`typec_altmode_state_update` function is invoked by the port driver to
communicate the current mode of the Type-C connector.
`typec_mode_selection_delete` function stops the currently running mode
selection process and releases all associated system resources.
`mode_selection_work_fn` task attempts to activate modes. The process stops
on success; otherwise, it proceeds to the next mode after a timeout or
error.

Changes in V5:
- Adopt guard(mutex)(&sel->lock) in mode_selection_work_fn()
- Use dev_err instead of dev_dbg, remove the error message when exiting
the mode
- Update typec_altmode_state_update() to only reschedule the
mode_selection_work_fn task if it was successfully cancelled
- Clean up code style and alignment issues
