    Hi Alexander,

    What exactly is the ACPI/EC interrupt in this case?

    Note, that simply selecting one role will only work if the partner
    device happens to be in the opposite role at the same time (actually,
    even that may not be enough). So for example by selecting host role
    will only work if the partner happens to be in device role. If the
    parter is also in host role, nothing happens, or both ends just fail
    to enumerate each other.

    So you always have to negotiate the role with the partner one way or
    the other. Now we need to understand how that negotiation is handled
    (or is expected to be handled) on this platform.

    Which type of connector are we talking about here? Is it USB Type-C,
    or is it something else?

    thanks,
