Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] usb: typec: tcpm/tcpci_maxim: deprecate WAR for
 setting charger mode

From: Amit Sunil Dhamne <amitsd@...gle.com>

TCPCI maxim driver directly writes to the charger's register space to
set charger mode depending on the power role. As MAX77759 chg driver
exists, this WAR is not required.

Instead, use a regulator interface to source vbus when typec is in
source power mode. In other power modes, this regulator will be turned
off if active.
