I chose 'connected_type' as I thought this would be more generic in case other main types would have some dynamic connection element to them and could also benefit from this. If we don't see that as being something we want though then I can make this just for USB.

I think usb_type is easier to understand from a user point of view and it helps to keep our enums clean. -- Sebastian

Ok, fair enough. Will update accordingly.

This commit adds the 'connected_type' property to represent supplies which can report a number of different types of supply based on a connection event. Examples of this already exist in drivers whereby the existing 'type' property is updated, based on an event, to represent what was connected (e.g. USB_DCP, USB_ACA, ...). Current implementations however don't show all supported connectable types, so this knowledge has to be exlicitly known for each driver that supports this. The 'connected_type' property is intended to fill this void and show users all possible types supported by a driver. The property, when read, shows all available types for the driver, and the one currently chosen is highlighted/bracketed. It is expected that the 'type' property would then just show the top-level type, such as 'USB', and this would be static. Currently the 'conn_type' enum contains all of the USB variant types that exist for the 'type' enum at this time, and in addition has the PPS type. In the future this can be extended further for other types which have multiple connected types supported. The mirroring is intentional so as to not impact existing usage of the 'type' property.
