For AMD platform there is a requirement to enable user space role
switch from host to device and device to host by means of running
following commands.

HOST: echo host > /sys/class/usb_role/dwc3.0.auto-role-switch/role
DEVICE: echo device > /sys/class/usb_role/dwc3.0.auto-role-switch/role

A more important question that needs to be answered: why?

Our customer platform is not completely capable of OTG i.e with type C controller it does not have PD to support role switching. Hence, they have script which triggers the role switch based on ACPI/EC interrupt.
