usb: USB Type-C connector class
The purpose of USB Type-C connector class is to provide
unified interface for the user space to get the status and
basic information about USB Type-C connectors on a system,
control over data role swapping, and when the port supports
USB Power Delivery, also control over power role swapping
and Alternate Modes.
