Add a member for that flag to the struct tcpm_port, and check that
here instead. I'll explain why below.

I'm not sure we should add any more members to that structure, but
maybe it's not a problem for now. We can't quite yet get rid of that
structure.

You do need to introduce a new device property already. Then read the
value for that new member you added to struct tcpm_port in
tcpm_fw_get_caps() and in tcpm_copy_caps().


Thanks,
