Actually, that's a fair point. Those are used beforehand in
'tcpm_pd_select_pps_apdo()' so should be updated prior to that being called,
although in reality this wouldn't change the behaviour of the code.

I'll move the adjustment to valid step sizes (out_volt and op_curr) to the
respective functions tcpm_pps_set_out_volt() and tcpm_pps_set_op_curr().
