[PATCH 01/10] usb: typec: Add alt_mode_override field to port property

From: Andrei Kuchynski
Date: Mon Jun 16 2025 - 09:33:44 EST


This new field in the port properties dictates whether the Platform Policy
Manager (PPM) allows the OS Policy Manager (OPM) to change the currently
active, negotiated alternate mode.
