So the problem is that it takes too long? If that is really a problem,
then just consider removing the resets. Don't try to use tricks like
this.

Both role swap operations release the connector lock after sending the
role swap command, and then start waiting for the completion. That
wait would now almoust always timeout because the underlying driver
does not know that there is a command pending. The only case where it
would not timeout is if there is an other command that is queued after
the role swap. In that case the role swap would hog the completion of
that other command.

Do not call the IO callbacks directly! Always use ucsi_send_command()
instead. That will guarantee that the CCI is always checked and that
errors are handled if there are any.
