usb: typec: ucsi: Preliminary support for alternate modes
With UCSI the alternate modes, just like everything else related to USB Type-C connectors, are handled in firmware. The operating system can see the status and is allowed to request certain things, for example entering and exiting the modes, but the support for alternate modes is very limited in UCSI. The feature is also optional, which means that even when the platform supports alternate modes, the operating system may not be even made aware of them. UCSI does not support direct VDM reading or writing. Instead, alternate modes can be entered and exited using a single custom command which takes also an optional SVID specific configuration value as parameter. That means every supported alternate mode has to be handled separately in UCSI driver. This commit does not include support for any specific alternate mode. The discovered alternate modes are now registered, but binding a driver to an alternate mode will not be possible until support for that alternate mode is added to the UCSI driver.
