I think this can be changed if both can be aligned.

This is the value in PDO of sink, the FRS property value(or after translated)
actually is used to compare with above value.

So I think both properties can share the same "value", maybe string
like below

10 static const char * const typec_pwr_opmodes[] = {
11 [TYPEC_PWR_MODE_USB] = "default",
12 [TYPEC_PWR_MODE_1_5A] = "1.5A",
13 [TYPEC_PWR_MODE_3_0A] = "3.0A",

how about typec-power-opmode and frs-new-source-opmode

I think yes.
