Hi Keikki,

Have you tested this interface with real dual-role controller/board?
What interface you use when you receive this event to handle
dual-role switch? I am wonder if a common dual-role class is
needed, then we can have a common user utility.

Eg, if "data_role" has changed, the udev can echo "data_role" to
/sys/class/usb-dual-role/role

Maybe we can enhance Roger's drd framework [1] to fulfill that.
