It's easier for tcpm.c to have a merged implementation because it
simply forwards VDMs to the internal state machine to handle without
doing anything with them. Our implementation is closer to
ucsi/displayport.c which needs to maintain an internal state machine
for DP and TBT VDMs and respond differently.

I can merge the two but I'd like to understand intent (reduce code
duplication? reduce the number of files?). As it is, keeping the files
separate makes it easier to understand how each alt-mode operates in
my opinion.
