Communication between the port driver and alternate mode +driver will happen using the same API. + +The port alternate mode devices are used as a proxy between the partner and the +alternate mode drivers, so the port drivers are only expected to pass the SVID +specific commands from the alternate mode drivers to the partner, and from the +partners to the alternate mode drivers. No direct SVID specific communication is +needed from the port drivers, but the port drivers need to provide the operation +callbacks for the port alternate mode devices, just like the alternate mode +drivers need to provide them for the partner alternate mode devices. + +Usage: +------ + +General +~~~~~~~ + +By default, the alternate mode drivers are responsible for entering the mode. +It is also possible to leave the decision about entering the mode to the user +space (See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec). Port drivers should not +enter any modes on their own. + +``->vdm`` is the most important callback in the operation callbacks vector. It +will be used to deliver all the SVID specific commands from the partner to the +alternate mode driver, and vice versa in case of port drivers. The drivers send +the SVID specific commands to each other using :c:func:`typec_altmode_vmd()`. + +If the communication with the partner using the SVID specific commands results +in need to reconfigure the pins on the connector, the alternate mode driver +needs to notify the bus using :c:func:`typec_altmode_notify()`. The driver +passes the negotiated SVID specific pin configuration value to the function as +parameter. The bus driver will then configure the mux behind the connector using +that value as the state value for the mux, and also call blocking notification +chain to notify the external drivers about the state of the connector that need +to know it. + +NOTE: The SVID specific pin configuration values must always start from +``TYPEC_STATE_MODAL``. USB Type-C specification defines two default states for +the connector: ``TYPEC_STATE_USB`` and ``TYPEC_STATE_SAFE``. These values are +reserved by the bus as the first possible values for the state. When the +alternate mode is entered, the bus will put the connector into +``TYPEC_STATE_SAFE`` before sending Enter or Exit Mode command as defined in USB +Type-C Specification, and also put the connector back to ``TYPEC_STATE_USB`` +after the mode has been exited. + +An example of working definitions for SVID specific pin configurations would +look like this: + +enum { + ALTMODEX_CONF_A = TYPEC_STATE_MODAL, + ALTMODEX_CONF_B, + ... +}; + +Helper macro ``TYPEC_MODAL_STATE()`` can also be used: + +#define ALTMODEX_CONF_A = TYPEC_MODAL_STATE(0); +#define ALTMODEX_CONF_B = TYPEC_MODAL_STATE(1); + +Notification chain +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The drivers for the components that the alternate modes are designed for need to +get details regarding the results of the negotiation with the partner, and the +pin configuration of the connector. In case of DisplayPort alternate mode for +example, the GPU drivers will need to know those details. In case of +Thunderbolt alternate mode, the thunderbolt drivers will need to know them, and +so on. + +The notification chain is designed for this purpose. The drivers can register +notifiers with :c:func:`typec_altmode_register_notifier()`. + +Cable plug alternate modes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The alternate mode drivers are not bound to cable plug alternate mode devices, +only to the partner alternate mode devices. If the alternate mode supports, or +requires, a cable that responds to SOP Prime, and optionally SOP Double Prime +messages, the driver for that alternate mode must request handle to the cable +plug alternate modes using :c:func:`typec_altmode_get_plug()`, and take over +their control. + +Driver API +---------- + +Alternate mode driver registering/unregistering +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/bus.c + :functions: typec_altmode_register_driver typec_altmode_unregister_driver + +Alternate mode driver operations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/bus.c + :functions: typec_altmode_enter typec_altmode_exit typec_altmode_attention typec_altmode_vdm typec_altmode_notify + +API for the port drivers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/bus.c + :functions: typec_match_altmode + +Cable Plug operations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/bus.c + :functions: typec_altmode_get_plug typec_altmode_put_plug + +Notifications +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/class.c + :functions: typec_altmode_register_notifier typec_altmode_unregister_notifier |
