Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] usb: typec: ucsi: rework glue driver interface

The interface between UCSI and the glue driver is very low-level. It
allows reading the UCSI data from any offset (but in reality the UCSI
driver reads only VERSION, CCI an MESSAGE_IN data). All event handling
is to be done by the glue driver (which already resulted in several
similar-but-slightly different implementations). It leaves no place to
optimize the write-read-read sequence for the command execution (which
might be beneficial for some of the drivers), etc.

The patchseries attempts to restructure the UCSI glue driver interface
in order to provide sensible operations instead of a low-level read /
write calls.

If this approach is found to be acceptable, I plan to further rework the
command interface, moving reading CCI and MESSAGE_IN to the common
control code, which should simplify driver's implementation and remove
necessity to split quirks between sync_control and read_message_in e.g.
as implemented in the ucsi_ccg.c.

Note, the series was tested only on the ucsi_glink platforms. Further
testing is appreciated.
