Unlike the other ports, TC ports are not available to use as soon as we get a hotplug. The TC PHYs can be shared between multiple controllers: display, USB, etc. As a result, handshaking through FIA is required around connect and disconnect to cleanly transfer ownership with the controller and set the type-C power state. This patch implements the flow sequences described by our specification. We opt to grab ownership of the ports as soon as we get the hotplugs in order to simplify the interactions and avoid surprises in the user space side. We may consider changing this in the future, once we improve our testing capabilities on this area. v2: * This unifies the DP and HDMI patches so we can discuss everything at once so people looking at random single patches can actually understand the direction. * I found out the spec was updated a while ago. There's a small difference in the connect flow and the patch was updated for that. * Our spec also now gives a good explanation on what is really happening. As a result, comments were added. * Add some more comments as requested by Rodrigo (Rodrigo). v3: * Downgrade a DRM_ERROR that shouldn't ever happen but we can't act on in case it does (Chris). BSpec: 21750, 4250.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
