This only unregisters alternate modes registered through typec_add_partner(),
but not alternate modes registered separately. Or is the calling code expected
to set port->partner->alt_modes when calling typec_register_altmodes()
directly ?

This will crash if alt_modes is NULL, which will happen if 
partner->alt_modes is NULL at connection time. Semantically
this is different to typec_register_altmodes(), which does
have a NULL check.
