According to Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power the "usb_type"
property is Read-Only.
For power-supplies which consume USB power such as battery charger chips,
this is correct.
But the UCS1002 USB Port Power Controller driver which is a driver
for a chip which is a power-source for USB-A charging ports "usb_type"
is actually writable to configure the type of USB charger emulated
by the USB-A port.
Adjust the docs and the power_supply_sysfs.c code to adjust for this
new writeable use of "usb_type":
1. Update Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power to document that
"usb_type" may be writable
2. Change the power_supply_attr type in power_supply_sysfs.c from
POWER_SUPPLY_ATTR() into POWER_SUPPLY_ENUM_ATTR() so that the various
usb_type string values from POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE_TEXT[] such as e.g.
"SDP" and "USB_PD" can be written to the "usb_type" attribute instead
of only accepting integer values.
