+ UCSI driver is meant to be used as a convenience tool for desktop and
+ server systems that are not equipped to handle USB in device mode. It
+ will always select USB host role for the USB Type-C ports on systems
+ that provide UCSI interface.
+
+ USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface (UCSI) is a
+ specification for an interface that allows the Operating System to
+ control the USB Type-C ports on a system. Things the need controlling
+ include the USB Data Role (host or device), and when USB Power
+ Delivery is supported, the Power Role (source or sink). With USB
+ Type-C connectors, when two dual role capable devices are attached
+ together, the data role is selected randomly. Therefore it is
+ important to give the OS a way to select the role. Otherwise the user
+ would have to unplug and replug in order in order to attempt to swap
+ the data and power roles.
+
+ The UCSI specification can be downloaded from:
+ http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/universal-serial-bus/usb-type-c-ucsi-spec.html
