[PATCH v1 2/3] usb: typec: thunderbolt: Check cable altmode support

From: Andrei Kuchynski

Date: Thu Jun 11 2026 - 08:23:12 EST


Update the probe function to utilize the new
typec_cable_altmode_unsupported() helper. If the cable doesn't support
Thunderbolt altmode, don't initialize altmode_ops and prevent altmode
from being activated.
