Thunderbolt 3 AltMode Driver & Other USB Improvements For Linux 6.14


In addition to sending out the char/misc pull request that completed work on the NTSYNC driver, Greg Kroah-Hartman yesterday also sent out the USB/Thunderbolt pull request for Linux 6.14

The pull also features additional Chrome OS work from Google and Intel for adding Thunderbolt and DisplayPort support to the "cros_ec_typec" driver. This is part of the alternate mode "AltMode" handling for the Chrome OS EC Type-C driver for both DisplayPort and Thunderbolt. This driver from Intel supports the Thunderbolt 3 Alternate Mode entry flow per the USB Type-C 2.0 specifications.
