usb: typec: Add support for UCSI interface
UCSI - USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface - is a specification that defines set of registers and data structures for controlling the USB Type-C ports. It's designed for systems where an embedded controller (EC) is in charge of the USB Type-C PHY or USB Power Delivery controller. It is designed for systems with EC, but it is not limited to them, and for example some USB Power Delivery controllers will use it as their direct control interface. With UCSI the EC (or USB PD controller) acts as the port manager, implementing all USB Type-C and Power Delivery state machines. The OS can use the interfaces for reading the status of the ports and controlling basic operations like role swapping. The UCSI specification highlights the fact that it does not define the interface method (PCI/I2C/ACPI/etc.). Therefore the driver is implemented as library and every supported interface method needs its own driver. Driver for ACPI is provided in separate patch following this one. The initial driver includes support for all required features from UCSI specification version 1.0 (getting connector capabilities and status, and support for power and data role swapping), but none of the optional UCSI features (alternate modes, power source capabilities, and cable capabilities).
