This doesn't make sense. By definition the sink isn't sourcing VBUS, so
how can it control whether to allow the voltage to be 5V or 0V?

I can see how the wording here "vSafe0V *or* vSafe5V" is misleading, as
I think it actually is both. In later parts of the spec, the source's
VBUS behavior is well defined in that it must first drop to vSafe0V
and then return to vSafe5V. Please refer to section 7.1.5.

Therefore I think this config option doesn't make sense.

But I do think this might still be useful at least in ensuring the sink
returns to drawing only default power during the transition before
re-establishing a contract. Given that the sink can't control when
exactly VBUS will go to 0V, is it ok to call set_current_limit() even if
VBUS is momentarily 0V, so at least it is in preparation for when VBUS
turns back on? Or would it be safer to do it during the
SNK_HARD_RESET_SINK_ON state after we know VBUS is back to vSafe5V?
