I'm thinking to solve this issue. In result, we can add one more type to specific connector.
For EXTCON_DISP_DP, we can add the two type as following. And EXTCON_PROP_TYPEC_POLARITY property
should be added to EXTCON_TYPE_USB.

+	[EXTCON_DISP_DP] = {
+		.type = EXTCON_TYPE_DISP | EXTCON_TYPE_USB,
+		.id = EXTCON_DISP_DP,
+		.name = "DP",
+	},

So, as you mentioned, EXTCON_DISP_DP can set the EXTCON_PROP_TYPEC_POLARITY property as following:
- extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_DISP_DP, EXTCON_PROP_TYPEC_POLARITY, 0 or 1);

I'll again developing the extcon property.
