+What: /sys/class/typec/<port>/data_role
+Date: April 2017
+Contact: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ The supported USB data roles. This attribute can be used for
+ 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

+Description:
+ The supported power roles. This attribute can be used to request
+ power role swap on the port when the port supports 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 role changes so
+ that poll(2) on the attribute wakes up. Change on the role will

+Date: May 2017
+Contact: Badhri Jagan Sridharan <Badhri@google.com>
+Description:
+ Indicates the type of the port. This attribute can be used for
+ requesting a change in the port type. Port type change is
+ supported as a synchronous operation, so write(2) to the
+ attribute will not return until the operation has finished.
+
+ Valid values:
+ - source (The port will behave as source only DFP port)
+ - sink (The port will behave as sink only UFP port)
+ - dual (The port will behave as dual-role-data and
+ dual-role-power port)

+Date: April 2017
+Contact: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ Shows is the port VCONN Source. This attribute can be used to
+ request VCONN swap to change the VCONN Source during connection
+ 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
+ generates uevent KOBJ_CHANGE.
+
+ Valid values:
+ - "no" when the port is not the VCONN Source
+ - "yes" when the port is the VCONN Source

+ power operation mode means current level for VBUS. In case USB
+ Power Delivery communication is used for negotiating the levels,
+ power operation mode should show "usb_power_delivery".

+Description:
+ The user space can notify the driver about the preferred role.
+ It should be handled as enabling of Try.SRC or Try.SNK, as
+ defined in USB Type-C specification, in the port drivers. By

+Description:
+ This directory appears only if the port device driver is capable
+ of showing the result of Discover Identity USB power delivery
+ command. That will not always be possible even when USB power

+Alternate Mode devices.
+
+The alternate modes will have Standard or Vendor ID (SVID) assigned by USB-IF.
+The ports, partners and cable plugs can have alternate modes. A supported SVID
+will consist of a set of modes. Every SVID a port/partner/plug supports will
+have a device created for it, and every supported mode for a supported SVID will
+have its own directory under that device. Below <dev> refers to the device for
+the alternate mode.

+Date: April 2017
+Contact: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ Shows if the mode is active or not. The attribute can be used
+ for entering/exiting the mode with partners and cable plugs, and
+ with the port alternate modes it can be used for disabling
+ support for specific alternate modes. Entering/exiting modes is
+ supported as synchronous operation so write(2) to the attribute
+ does not return until the enter/exit mode operation has
+ finished. The attribute is notified when the mode is
+ entered/exited so poll(2) on the attribute wakes up.
+ Entering/exiting a mode will also generate uevent KOBJ_CHANGE.
