Maybe I am missing something, but
tcpm_set_roles(port, port->self_powered,
TYPEC_SINK, TYPEC_DEVICE);
should accomplish the same (assuming the flag is moved to tcpm_port).

Does the code at SRC_HARD_RESET_VBUS_OFF: also have to be changed,
or only SNK_HARD_RESET_SINK_OFF: ? In other words, does this only
apply if the port is a sink, or also if is is source ?
