[PATCH v2 4/5] usb: typec: Implement alternate mode priority handling

From: Andrei Kuchynski
Date: Mon Aug 25 2025 - 11:01:41 EST


This patch introduces APIs to manage the priority of USB Type-C alternate
modes. These APIs allow for setting and retrieving a priority number for
each mode. If a new priority value conflicts with an existing mode's
priority, the priorities of the conflicting mode and all subsequent modes
are automatically incremented to ensure uniqueness.
