Before sending Enter Mode for an Alt Mode, there is a gap between Discover Modes and the Alt Mode driver queueing the Enter Mode VDM for the port partner to send a message to the port.
If this message results in unregistering Alt Modes such as in a DR_SWAP, then the following deadlock can occur with respect to the DisplayPort Alt Mode driver: 1. The DR_SWAP state holds port->lock. Unregistering the Alt Mode driver results in a cancel_work_sync() that waits for the current dp_altmode_work to finish. 2. dp_altmode_work makes a call to tcpm_altmode_enter. The deadlock occurs because tcpm_queue_vdm_unlock attempts to hold port->lock.
Before attempting to grab the lock, ensure that the port is in a state vdm_run_state_machine can run in. Alt Mode unregistration will not occur in these states.
