Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: tcpm: fix warning when handle discover_identity message Since both source and sink device can send discover_identity message in
PD3, kernel may dump below warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------

--> WARN_ON(port->vdm_state > VDM_STATE_DONE); For this case, the state machine could still send out discover
identity message later if we skip current discover_identity message.
So we should handle the received message firstly and override the pending
discover_identity message without warning in this case. Then, a delayed
send_discover work will send discover_identity message again.
