I don't think we need "linux,typeb-conn-gpio". A driver can decide to
handle GPIO lines if they present or we assume the parent device handles
ID and/or Vbus if they are not present.

Please clarify that vbus-gpios is an input to sense Vbus presence as an
output it should be modelled as a regulator only.

These should be added to usb-connector.txt.

The result of all this is you don't need this file. Just additions to
usb-connector.txt.

Don't show status in examples.

When the host controller is the parent of the connector, you don't need
the graph unless you're describing the alternate modes in Type-C.
