| requesting data role swapping on the port. Swapping is supported |
| as synchronous operation, so write(2) to the attribute will not |
| return until the operation has finished. The attribute is |
| notified about role changes so that poll(2) on the attribute |
| wakes up. Change on the role will also generate uevent |
| KOBJ_CHANGE on the port. The current role is show in brackets, |
| for example "[host] device" when DRP port is in host mode. |
| |
| Valid values: host, device |

| when both the port and the partner support USB Power Delivery. |
| Swapping is supported as synchronous operation, so write(2) to |
| the attribute will not return until the operation has finished. |
| The attribute is notified about VCONN source changes so that |
| poll(2) on the attribute wakes up. Change on VCONN source also |
