This is required for devices (e.g. ASUS ROG Phone 3) where more than
one USB port can act as a sink and both share a single USBIN input on
the PMIC.

Because the PM8150B uses USBIN to determine VBUS presence, a charger
connected to one port causes the PMIC to falsely detect VBUS on the
other port, preventing it from entering source mode.

For example, plugging a charger into one port prevents using the other
port for a flash drive.

Fix this by adding support for the vbus-gpios connector binding so the
driver can use an external GPIO for per-port VBUS presence detection
instead of the shared USBIN register.

Changes in v2:
- Dropped RFC prefix
- Remove redundant vbus-detect-gpios, instead use existing vbus-gpios from usb-connector (Dmitry)
- Updated cover to better describe scenario where this change is relevant
- Update comment for EN_TRY_SRC to make more sense
- Skip vSafe5V poll too not just vSafe0V
- return gpiod_get_value_cansleep (Konrad)
- regmap_update_bits -> regmap_set_bits (Konrad)
- Get vbus-gpios per connector (Konrad)
- Add bracket to if (IS_ERR(pmic_typec_port->vbus_detect_gpio)) (Bryan)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260308-qcom-typec-shared-vbus-v1-0-7d574b91052a@xxxxx
