[PATCH] usb: typec: tcpm: constrain TCPM_SOURCING_VBUS event handling

From: Amit Sunil Dhamne via B4 Relay

Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 17:20:11 EST


From: Amit Sunil Dhamne <amitsd@xxxxxxxxxx>

When a sink detach occurs while waiting for TX send status, the old
TCPM_SOURCING_VBUS event along with TCPM_VBUS_EVENT and TCPM_CC_EVENT
can be queued in port->pd_events. Because TCPM_SOURCING_VBUS is
evaluated after TCPM_VBUS_EVENT and TCPM_CC_EVENT in
tcpm_pd_event_handler(), a stale TCPM_SOURCING_VBUS event can override
the detach handling and incorrectly set port->vbus_source and
port->vbus_present to true.

Add a state guard to check that the port is either operating as a
Source (tcpm_port_is_source(port)) or in a Fast Role Swap (FRS) state
up to FR_SWAP_SNK_SRC_SOURCE_VBUS_APPLIED before processing
TCPM_SOURCING_VBUS. Otherwise, discard and log the event.
