Nice idea, But I am thinking about is it compatible with real 
DisplayPort without Type-C.
Maybe we should add a new cable: EXTCON_DISP_DP_ALT

+	[EXTCON_DISP_DP] = {
+		.type = EXTCON_TYPE_DISP,
+		.id = EXTCON_DISP_DP,
+		.name = "DP",
+	},

+	[EXTCON_DISP_DP_ALT] = {
+		.type = EXTCON_TYPE_DISP | EXTCON_TYPE_USB,
+		.id = EXTCON_DISP_DP,
+		.name = "DP ALT",
+	},
