Hi Utkarsh,

Thanks for sending the patch.

u16 type is used in the kernel.

Also, if this function returns a VDO, the return type should be u32, but... (see later)

Pass the struct cros_typec_port directly (and then drop the port_num argument).

Return the vdo here directly; that way, if you reach past the list iteration,
we know for sure the SVID wasn't found and you can unconditionally return the error
case.

I think it is more correct here to have an int return type (so the "not found" case can
return -1 or the right error code), and then have the cable VDO as a pointer argument.

u32.

Probably a separate patch, but can we get rid of this too, since the cable_vdo should
have this information?

Why just not or the cable_vdo into existing cable_mode"? :

data.cable_mode |= cable_vdo;

The !(cable_vdo & TBT_CABLE_RETIMER) check shouldn't be necessary; the
earlier "else if" already ensures that by the time we reach here, this
clause is satisfied.
