+Description: USB Power Delivery Specification defines a set of product types
+ for the partner devices. This file will show the product type of
+ the partner if it is known. Dual-role capable partners will have
+ both UFP and DFP product types defined, but only one that
+ matches the current role will be active at the time. If the
+ product type of the partner is not visible to the device driver,
+ this file will not exist.
+
+ When the partner product type is detected, or changed with role
+ swap, uvevent is also raised that contains PRODUCT_TYPE=<product
+ type> (for example PRODUCT_TYPE=hub).

+ This directory appears only if the port device driver is capable
+ of showing the result of Discover Identity USB power delivery
+ command. That will not always be possible even when USB power
+ delivery is supported, for example when USB power delivery
+ communication for the port is mostly handled in firmware. If the
+ directory exists, it will have an attribute file for every VDO
+ in Discover Identity command result.
