Subject: [PATCH v3 03/11] usb: typec: Add plug num_altmodes sysfs attr

Add a field to the typec_plug struct to record the number of available
altmodes as well as the corresponding sysfs attribute to expose this to
userspace.

This allows userspace to determine whether there are any
remaining alternate modes left to be registered by the kernel driver. It
can begin executing any policy state machine after all available
alternate modes have been registered with the connector class framework.

This value is set to "-1" initially, signifying that a valid number of
alternate modes haven't been set for the plug. The sysfs file remains
hidden as long as the attribute value is -1.

We re-use the partner attribute for number_of_alternate_modes since the
usage and name is similar, and update the corresponding *_show() command
to support both partner and plugs.

Changes in v3:
- Re-arranged patch order and combined it with related series of
patches.

No version v2.

Why couldn't we just keep it hidden for as long as the number of
alt modes is 0? If you already explained that, then I apologise, I've
forgotten.

No worries :)

Succinctly, because 0 is a valid value for "number of altmodes
supported".

If we keep the attribute hidden for 0, then there won't
be a way for userspace to determine that PD discovery is done and we
don't expect any more cable plug altmodes to be registered by the kernel
Type C port driver (it can determine this by comparing
"number_of_altmodes" against the actual number of alt modes registered
by the Type C port driver).

If we keep "number_of_altmodes" hidden even for 0, the userspace cannot
differentiate between "this cable doesn't support any altmodes" and
"it does altmodes, but the PD stack hasn't completed PD Discovery
including DiscoverIdentity yet".

For reference, here is the initial patch and mini-discussion around it
back in July for port-partner altmodes [1] (I've followed a similar
logic here).

Hope this helps the rationale a bit more.

Best regards,

-Prashant
