This competes with Benson's idea of having "sets" of capabilites from
which to choose the ones that we advertise to the partner. You could
also use that idea to cover this case as well. You just have two
source capabilities sets defined - one where you only have the vSafe5V
and another for everything.

Benson's idea also seems to be something what we can support with UCSI
and some native USB PD controller host interfaces, but limiting the
source capabitites to only vSafe5V is something that we can't do. I
means, on some platforms we may have a source capabilities "set" that
we can choose that only exposes the vSafe5V, but there is no guarantee
that we always have it (and it's unlikely that we ever have it). It's
up to some firmware that we have no control over.

So this is the wrong way and Benson's idea is the right way IMO.

I already prepared a proposal for adding support for Benson's idea:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20220203144657.16527-1-heikki.krogerus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This patch adds the attributes that you can use to choose the
capabilities that are advertised to the partner:
