Do you need to tell the negotiated data role to your USB controller
driver from the UCSI driver? For that we would need to know which USB
controller, or more precisely, which USB port is connected to the
USB Type-C connector in question.

That would require ACPI tables to be able to describe the connection
between the USB Type-C connector and the USB port (and the connection
between DisplayPort and the USB Type-C connector etc.). Unfortunately
there is currently no documented way of doing that, however, there is
a proposal for a document the defines how the USB Type-C connectors
should be described in ACPI in general. The proposal does consider
this problem as well. For this the solution is to use _DSD device
properties "usb2-port" and "usb3-port" that have references to the
correct USB port nodes as values.

Which USB controller are you using btw?

thanks,
