There's another check in `typec_altmode_enter` for the port itself:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/usb/typec/bus.c#L138
If I leave this out, it will just fail in `dp_altmode_work` when it
calls `typec_altmode_enter` and will leave a dev_err("failed to enter
mode"). This might be more user friendly since it's visible to the
user that the partner supports the mode but the port blocked entry.
I'll update the message on mode entry to also print the return value
(-EPERM) in the next patch.

Ack - will remove the bitfield. `struct typec_altmode` also does this
-- I'll remove that in a cleanup patch too.
