With this CL the lower level drivers are reponsible to check and make sure
that the role swap can be performed.
This facilitates the lower level driver to attempt to perform role swap
through initial connection process.
Quoting from the Type-C specification release(page 24),
role swaps are not limited to devices that only support PD.
"Two independent set of mechanisms are defined to allow a USB Type-C
DRP to functionally swap power and data roles. When USB PD is
supported, power and data role swapping is performed as a subsequent
step following the initial connection process. For non-PD implementations,
power/data role swapping can optionally be dealt with as part of the initial
connection process."

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
+ power role swap. 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. The current role is show in
brackets, for example "[source] sink" when in source mode.
+ When both the port and the port-partner supports USB Power
+ Delivery, the PR_SWAP command is used to perform the role swap.
+ Otherwise, the port roles would be re-resolved by forcing
+ a disconnect and reconnect.
Valid values: source, sink
