That says _what_ you are doing, but I have no idea _why_ you want to
do
this.
What is this going to cause to have happen? What new userspace api is
going to result? What will a user do with this?
This is useful when the USB role is the only way to know if the device
is charging from USB.
The API is the standard power supply charger API, you get a
/sys/class/power_supply/xxx/online node which tells you the state of
the charger.
The sole purpose of this is to give userspace applications a way to
know whether or not the charger is plugged.
Is this going to always show up, no matter if the role is not even
relevant for a power supply?
I guess it'd always show up, yes. In which case would the role not be
relevant for a power supply? Is gpio-b-connector not always used for
OTG connectors?

You need a lot more text here to make this mergable.
