I think the following would decouple Rounded Support and Active Cable Link
Training?:

	struct typec_thunderbolt_data data = {};
...
	if (pd_ctrl->control_flags & USB_PD_CTRL_ACTIVE_LINK_UNIDIR)
		data.tbt_cable_vdo |= TBT_CABLE_LINK_TRAINING;

	data.tbt_cable_vdo |= TBT_SET_CABLE_ROUNDED(pd_ctrl->cable_gen);

	if (data.tbt_cable_vdo)
		data.tbt_cable_vdo |= TBT_MODE;
