Right, but in order to be able to use device-mode with a passive
USB-C <-> USB-A cable your tcpc still needs to use dual-role toggling,
otherwise it will not even generate an IRQ when plugging in the
passive USB-C <-> USB-A cable and you thus will not even get
an insertion event.

Which I see is more or less what your original patch tries to do.

So I guess your original patch does seem to be something like
what is necessary but for the UCSI bit it should be limited to
only still allow dual-role toggling when the data-role is "dual".

Also it should be split into separate patches for the UCSI
and TCPM parts.

Note I've not looked at the TCPM part of the patch in detail,
I'm not sure that part is correct.

Hans
