[PATCH] usb: typec: tcpm: reset internal port states on soft reset AMS

From: Amit Sunil Dhamne via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Apr 13 2026 - 21:00:45 EST


From: Amit Sunil Dhamne <amitsd@xxxxxxxxxx>

Reset internal port states (such as vdm_sm_running and
explicit_contract) on soft reset AMS as the port needs to negotiate a
new contract. The consequence of leaving the states in as-is cond are as
follows:
* port is in SRC power role and an explicit contract is negotiated
with the port partner (in sink role)
* port partner sends a Soft Reset AMS while VDM State Machine is
running
* port accepts the Soft Reset request and the port advertises src caps
* port partner sends a Request message but since the explicit_contract
and vdm_sm_running are true from previous negotiation, the port ends
up sending Soft Reset instead of Accept msg.
