Hi Heikki,

Looks like that would pretty much make it reflect the same values as
"tcpm-source-psy-" exposed
by tcpm. So experimenting with making the charger power supply a supplicant.
However, noticed that the "tcpm-source-psy-" does not have calls to
power_supply_changed().
So the notifiers are not getting invoked.
Trying to fix that to see if just "tcpm-source-psy-" helps the case
without me trying to create another
one which almost would reflect the same values. Let me know if you
think that might not work.

For now, refactored the patches to only include changes related to
data path and sending
them in. Will follow up with patches for the charger path once I am
done with the above approach
and some validation.

Thanks,
Badhri
