Introduce a retimer device class and associated functions that register and use retimer "switch" devices. These operate in a manner similar to the "mode-switch" and help configure retimers that exist between the Type-C connector and host controller(s). Type C ports can be linked to retimers using firmware node device references (again, in a manner similar to "mode-switch"). There are no new sysfs files being created; there is the new retimer class directory, but there are no class-specific files being created there.

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.
