Not using extcon is the right thing, but perhaps we should make the EUD
a role_switch provider and client, so that we can describe how it sits
inbetween the connector and the controller.

That way it has the power to pass through or override requests from the
upstream role-switcher, based on the status of EUD.


That said, I'm still curious to what happens if I renegotiate the roles
dynamically in a Type-C environment, while enabling EUD. How would the
device on the other end of the cable know that it's supposed to be a
host? Or there's simply a reset of the link when this happens?
