usb: common: Small class for USB role switches USB role switch is a device that can be used to choose the data role for USB connector. With dual-role capable USB controllers, the controller itself will be the switch, but on some platforms the USB host and device controllers are separate IPs and there is a mux between them and the connector. On those platforms the mux driver will need to register the switch. With USB Type-C connectors, the host-to-device relationship is negotiated over the Configuration Channel (CC). That means the USB Type-C drivers need to be in control of the role switch. The class provides a simple API for the USB Type-C drivers for the control. For other types of USB connectors (mainly microAB) the class provides user space control via sysfs attribute file that can be used to request role swapping from the switch.

Description:
Place in sysfs for USB Role Switches. USB Role Switch is a
device that can select the data role (host or device) for USB
port.
What: /sys/class/usb_role/<switch>/role
Date: Jan 2018
Contact: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com>
Description:
The current role of the switch. This attribute can be used for
requesting role swapping with non-USB Type-C ports. With USB
Type-C ports, the ABI defined for USB Type-C connector class
must be used.
Valid values:
- none
- host
- device
