From bbe80c9a89b868e98ef0710cb03ee68dd78a4d8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heikki Krogerus Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 14:25:30 +0300 Subject: usb: typec: altmode: Remove the notification chain Using the generic notification chain is not reasonable with the alternate modes because it would require dependencies between the drivers of the components that need the notifications, and the typec drivers. There are no users for the alternate mode notifications, so removing the chain and the API for it completely.
