[PATCH v4 2/2] usb: typec: tcpci: support setting orientation via GPIO

From: Xu Yang

Date: Thu Mar 19 2026 - 06:12:27 EST


If the chip indicates its "Connection Orientation" standard output control
in STANDARD_OUTPUT_CAPABILITIES register, it can do the thing by
programming CONFIG_STANDARD_OUTPUT register. Due to the optional feature,
the chip which not present this capability currently doesn't have a way to
correctly set the data path. This add the support to set orientation via
a simple GPIO.

Changes in v4:
- simplify gpiod_set_value_cansleep()
Changes in v3:
- use "err = !!orient_gpio"
Changes in v2:
- return early in tcpci_set_orientation() if using gpio method
