OK, thanks!
My system is a bit different. It's an i.MX6 SoC with the typec phy and DP controller connected
directly to the SoC and it's using DTB/OF.
Using extcon I would have a driver that is both typec class and extcon driver at the same time
since I can't share the access to the typec phy. Is this done elsewhere in the kernel?
I don't know much about the wcove PMIC and what alternate modes it might support but I
guess that driver would end up in the same place.
Do we need to further standardize attributes under (each) specific alternate mode to
include things such as HPD for the DP mode?
