I agree Guenter using a dt property is not the proper way here(maybe valid
for your HW with only typec power supply), I think a right way is to change
tcpm to handle this kind case(like the existing vbus_never_low flag) so we
will have a common handling

if (vbus_on && CC_state_is_RP)
	dead_battery = true;
	bypass tcpm_init_vbus or only enable sink.
