Hi Bjorn/Jack,

I have removed the need for referencing other base addresses other than
the type C block within the  driver, and have moved the DCDC set to be
handled by another regulator driver, which solely controls the vbus
output.  The type C driver will control the vbus output using the
regulator APIs.  Thanks for the input.
