SubjectRe: [v3 PATCH 1/5] extcon: Add Type-C and DP support
Hi Chris,

I agree to add the new EXTCON_DISP_DP connector.
But, other new definition should be discussed.
- EXTCON_DISP_DP_ALT
- EXTCON_TYPEC_POLARITY
- EXTCON_TYPEC_PIN_ASSIGN

I think that TYPEC_POLARITY and TYPEC_PIN_ASSING are not appropriate
as the new external connector definition. These are the property or attribute of
USB connector with C-type.

Also, EXTCON_DISP_DP_ALT is not a new type of connector.
It is just one of the mode for DP connector.

As I knew, DP alternative mode use the USB connector with C-type.
So, DP alternative mode can be expressed on following:
= EXTCON_DISP_DP + EXTCON_USB + some property of USB c-type

Thanks,
Chanwoo Choi
