Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] usb: typec: Consolidate sysfs ABI documentation

Both partner and cable have identity VDOs. These are listed separately
in the Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec. Factor these out
into a common location to avoid the duplication.

- Rebased on top of the usb-next tree.
- Added Acked-by tag from pevious version's review.
- Corrected a typo ('syfs' -> 'sysfs') in the subject line.

Patch first introduced in v3.
