FYI, I'll improve the matching done ucsi_altmode_update_active(), it
is true that we cannot rely on the the mode index, but note I'm not
going to support those masks at this point.

I'm still expecting that the firmware can be updated. The UCSI data
structures really need to supply consistent information to the OS,
regardless of the PPM implementation.

I threw some ideas how we should be able to determine the DP pin
assignment with more certainty in my previous mail, in case the
currently executed "guessing" is not reliable enough for you guys. Let
me know what you think.


thanks,
