This looks like a very generic piece of hw.. many boards (esp. convertibles)
do the same thing, with 4 or 5 pins on the bottom of the device.

But of course hw manufacturers being hw manufacturers, many different kinds
of signals go through such connectors - if it's not USB then it's perhaps
I2C or some variation thereof

IMO, we could perhaps add this to usb-connector.yaml as "usb-custom-connector"
or so
