As indicated above, the firmware deals with battery management and USB
Type-C handling.

The battery/power management is handled by the battmgr implementation,
exposing the various properties through a set of power_supply objects.

The USB Type-C handling comes in two forms. The "altmode" protocol
handles DisplayPort notifications - plug detect, orientation and mode
switches. The other part of the USB implementation exposes UCSI.

The altmode implementation provides two things:
- A drm_bridge, per connector, which can be tied (of_graph) to a
  DisplayPort instance, and will invoke HPD notifications on the
  drm_bridge, based on notification messages thereof.

- Acquire typec_switch and typec_mux handles through the of_graph and
  signal the remotes when notifications of state changes occur. Linking
  this to the FSA4480, is sufficient to get USB/DP combo (2+2 lanes)
  working on e.g. SM8350 HDK.
  Work in progress patches also exists for teaching QMP about
  orientation switching of the SS lines, but it seems this needs to be
  rebased onto the refactored QMP driver.
  I also have patches for QMP to make it switch USB/DP combo -> 4-lane
  DP, which allow 4k support without DSC, unfortunately switch back to
  USB has not been fully reliable, so this requires some more work
  (downstream involves DWC3 here as well, to reprogram the PHY).

I have been experimenting with UCSI in the past, but my goal for this
series was to support external displays on my desktop (laptop...), but
through some experiments I've wired the connectors to dwc3 in order to
get usb_role_switch working. Neil has been looking at this in more
detail lately though.

Bjorn
