Yes, that is right.

I think although ROLE_NONE is for selecting default mode, it still means
the same in USB-conn-gpio / ucsi-glink and hd3ss3220 (not sure about
typec-controller).

Sure. Will do the following in v3:
1. Instead of adding host notifiers, will add
"pm_runtime_use_autosuspend" in xhci-plat.c
2. Fix up coding issues pointed by you in patch 1/4.
Let me know if this sounds fine.
