Do we really need to ACK in this case since we didn't process the

Retrying is a good idea, but ucsi_check_connection() doesn't have the 
full functionality compared to handle_connector_change. I guess 
ucsi_check_connection() will send a set_role, but won't handle the 
connector_change scenarios happening due to PR/DR swap, which will lead 
to deadlocks (due to wait_for_completion). This is just an example. So 
its better to bail out and process the next events, because the failure 
here is from the glink layer.
