+
+API for USB Type-C Alternate Mode drivers
+=========================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Alternate modes require communication with the partner using Vendor Defined
+Messages (VDM) as defined in USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery Specifications.
+The communication is SVID (Standard or Vendor ID) specific, i.e. specific for
+every alternate mode, so every alternate mode will need a custom driver.
+
+USB Type-C bus allows binding a driver to the discovered partner alternate
+modes by using the SVID and the mode number.
+
+USB Type-C Connector Class provides a device for every alternate mode a port
+supports, and separate device for every alternate mode the partner supports.
+The drivers for the alternate modes are bound to the partner alternate mode
+devices, and the port alternate mode devices must be handled by the port
+drivers.
+
+When a new partner alternate mode device is registered, it is linked to the
+alternate mode device of the port that the partner is attached to, that has
+matching SVID and mode. 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.
