This has been rejected by Rob, Dmitry & Krzysztof in:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/0fbf55e7-2140-751d-5347-f907a46ef78c@linaro.org/

Indeed the "GPIO" is not part of the physical USB-C connector, but a property,
and it's not part of the PMIC GLINK firmware either, so ?

The PMIC function which generates this signal is handled by the PMIC GLINK
firmware, so this representation is the most accurate.
