There are 4 modes for Type-C DP alt mode:
1) USB host only  :

extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB_HOST, 1);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB, 0);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_DISP_DP, 0);

2) USB device only

extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB_HOST, 0);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB, 1);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_DISP_DP, 0);

3) DP only

extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB_HOST, 0);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB, 0);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_DISP_DP, 1);

4) USB + DP

extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB_HOST, 1);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_USB, 0);
extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_DISP_DP, 1);


for 3rd mode: DP only, there is only EXTCON_DISP_DP is attached, the 
EXTCON_USB_HOST
and EXTCON_USB are detached, Can I set the property into these 2 
detached cable?
or just call extcon_set_cable_state(edev, EXTCON_DISP_DP, 
EXTCON_PROP_TYPEC_POLARITY, 0 or 1);
