[PATCH v2 00/11] platform/chrome: Add DT USB/DP muxing/topology support

This series adds support for fully describing the USB/DP topology on
ChromeOS Trogdor devices in DT. Trogdor devices have a single DP phy in
the AP that is muxed to one of two usb type-c connectors depending on
which port asserts HPD first to the EC. We'd like to know which port is
connected to an external monitor to provide a better experience to the
user about things like which type-c port is displaying DP or which
type-c hub is acting up, etc. Describing the connection all the way from
the source to the connector will allow us to do this.

DRM core patches: These are used to implement lane assignment for DP
altmode configurations through the drm_bridge code. The typec code will
use this to tell the DP phy how many lanes of DP to drive and which
lanes to drive out to the USB type-c connector. Adding support for lane
assignment allows us to implement DP muxing as well, physically
splitting the DP lanes on the DP phy so that hardware doesn't have to
use an analog mux to steer two DP lanes to one or the other type-c port.

DRM aux hpd patches: These implement an auxiliary device for USB type-c
DP alternate mode. I took Dmitry's suggestion and moved the code that
does the remapping into this driver. The existing hpd bridge is wrapped
so as to avoid changing the current users.

Cros EC typec patches: This ties together everything that comes before it in
this series. The EC typec driver registers the drm_dp_typec_bridge that
can signal HPD from the type-c connector through the bridge chain, mux
the DP phy in software so that we don't have to use an analog mux, and
implement orientation control for boards like Kukui that directly
connect the DP phy to the type-c port, necessitating lane assignment to
flip the lanes to match the cable orientation.

I'm thinking of working in changes so that the drm_dp_typec_bridge
registers a 'struct typec_mux_dev' as well. If that is done then we can
register a drm_dp_typec_bridge from the port manager and let the type-c
framework drive the pin assignment and orientation directly instead of
calling it from the port manager layer. To get there I need to add the
ability for a 'struct typec_mux_dev' to associate with more than one
typec_port (technically already done) and then make sure that the
cros_ec_typec driver doesn't try to enable DP altmode on the type-c port
that isn't muxed for DP. I'm working on this now but I'm sending this
out to get some feedback because I've reached a good stopping place.

Changes from v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240210070934.2549994-1-swboyd@chromium.org
 * Too many to count!
 * Split out the DRM bits into this series
 * Moved the logic into dp-aux-hpd bridge driver
 * Drive the bridge from cros_ec_typec driver instead of globbing onto
   the ACPI centric cros-typec-switch driver
 * During that process drop a lot of patches that aren't needed anymore
 * Move the DT graph and other properties to the cros-ec-typec binding
 * Skip mode-switch/orientation-switch properties because we're not
   registering typec structs anymore
