Yes.. I missed it while cleaning up the patch. Will add it to my next patch.

I am checking against the current value of port_type variable.
Dont we want to reject role swaps if the port_type is not
TYPEC_PORT_DRP ? My understanding is that if the port type
is fixed at say PORT_TYPE_DFP by userspace, then unless
the userspace sets port_type back to PORT_TYPE_DRP,
role swap requests have to rejected. Is my understanding not
correct ?

similar to what I am doing for data_role_store function.

Going to introduce a mutex port_type_lock which will protect the port_type
variable.
