Thanks. Sure will stick to just checking port->port_type.

Anh I see. Can we reject the role swap requests when the port_type is
not set to TYPEC_PORT_DRP ? So when the port_type is:
source -> The port will behave as source only DFP.
sink -> The port will behave as sink only UFP.
drp -> dual-role-data and dual-role-power port.
