From: Chaoyi Chen <chaoyi.chen at rock-chips.com>

The RK3399 has two USB/DP combo PHY. With the help of external Type-C
controller, the PHY can switch altmode between USB and DP.

Their connection diagram is shown below:

external Type-C Chip0 ---> USB/DP PHY0 ---+
                                          | <----> CDN-DP controller
external Type-C Chip1 ---> USB/DP PHY1 ---+

This patch add new "mode-switch" property for dp-port to indicate
whether the PHY can handle altmode switching.

Changes in v2:
- Reuse dp-port/usb3-port in rk3399-typec-phy binding.
