On second thought, and after merging the code (and realizing that I don't get
the raw data from the Type-C Port Manager), I am not sure if a raw attribute
is that useful here. It also doesn't provide all information either.
Would it make sense to split it into multiple decoded attributes ?
- vendor-id
[bit 0..15 of ID header VDO]
- product-type (undefined, hub, peripheral, alternate mode adapter for ufp;
passive/active for cable plugs)
Might map into typec_partner_type, but I don't see a 1:1 match.
[bit 27..29 of ID header VDO]
- alternate-mode-supported
[bit 26 of ID header VDO]
- capabilities (ufp, dfp, drp, none (?))
[bit 30/31 of ID header VDO]
- product-id
[bit 16..31 of Product VDO]
Does this make any sense ?
Thanks,
Guenter
