Subject: [PATCH v5 5/7] usb: typec: Introduce mode_selection bit

The port driver sets this bit for an alternate mode description to indicate
support for the mode selection feature. Once set, individual Alt Mode
drivers will no longer attempt to activate their respective modes within
their probe functions. This prevents race conditions and non-prioritized
activation.
The bit is not set by default. If left unset, the system retains the
current behavior where Alt Mode drivers manage their own activation logic.
