That says _what_ you are doing, but I have no idea _why_ you want to do
this.

What is this going to cause to have happen?  What new userspace api is
going to result?  What will a user do with this?

Is this going to always show up, no matter if the role is not even
relevant for a power supply?

You need a lot more text here to make this mergable.
