Please guide/suggest on why the FUSB302B port controller on a target board
is getting reset(hard reset) on reception of a 0x0 packet from source(PD Wall
charger 100W - 20V@5A).

Let me know if you need anymore details.


AFAICS the wall charger sends a hard reset request, which is honored.
This seems to work as intended to me. What is interesting though is that
I don't see a "Unrecognized extended message type" in the log,
suggesting that the message id is 0 and matches the previous
message ID. This would cause the message to be ignored.

I don't really know what do do with this. All I can say is that
the charger should not send a message with header==0x0. It looks like
there is no response sent to this message, which is possibly the
reason why the charger sends the hard reset request. But that doesn't
give us a hint what we should or even could do in this situation.
