Hi, I just noticed this patch.

Part of this patch and part of my patch
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210816075449.2236547-1-kyletso@xxxxxxxxxx
are to solve the same problem that Discover_Identity is not sent in a
case where the port becomes UFP after DR_SWAP while in PD3.

The difference (for the DR_SWAP part) is that my patch does not set
the flag "send_discover" if the port becomes UFP after PD2 DR_SWAP.
That is because in PD2 Spec, UFP is not allowed to be the SVDM
Initiator.

This patch indeed solves another problem where
tcpm_unregister_altmodes should be called during PD3 DR_SWAP because
the port partner may return mode data in the latest Discover_Mode. For
the PD2 case, I don't think it needs to be called because PD2 DFP will
always return NAK for Discover_Mode. However it is fine because it is
safe to call tcpm_unregister_altmodes even if there is no mode data.

In fact, when I was tracing the code I found another bug. PD2 UFP is
not allowed to send Discover_Identity and Discover_Mode. I can send
another patch to address this problem.

thanks,
Kyle
