Please refer to 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241024022233.3276995-1-amitsd@xxxxxxxxxx/ as
122968f8dda8 is causing USB Type-C PD compliance failures.

Instead of deleting code, please restrict this behavior to non self 
powered battery case as this most likely break compliance and

may break actual use-cases for other users as a result. If you want you 
can move stuff around after

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241024022233.3276995-1-amitsd@xxxxxxxxxx/

gets accepted in the following way:

```

if (!port->self_powered) {

        tcpm_set_state(port, SNK_WAIT_CAPABILITIES_TIMEOUT, 
PD_T_SINK_WAIT_CAP);

        break;

}


if (port->vbus_never_low) {

        tcpm_set_state(port, SNK_SOFT_RESET, PD_T_SINK_WAIT_CAP);

} else {

        tcpm_set_state(port, hard_reset_state(..), PD_T_SINK_WAIT_CAP);

}

```

This way you don't have to execute the SNK_SOFT_RESET flow for non self 
powered use-case.

Thanks,

Amit
