Add a user-visible attribute for the number of alternate modes available in a partner. This allows userspace to determine whether there are any remaining alternate modes left to be registered by the kernel driver. It can begin executing any policy state machine after all available alternate modes have been registered with the connector class framework. This value is set to "-1" initially, signifying that a valid number of alternate modes haven't been set for the partner. Also add a sysfs file which exposes this attribute. The file remains hidden as long as the attribute value is -1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
