usb: typec: Link enumerated USB devices with Type-C partner
Adding functions that USB hub code can use to inform the Type-C class about connected USB devices. Once taken into use, it will allow the Type-C port drivers to power off components that are not needed, for example if USB2 device is enumerated, everything that is only relevant for USB3 (retimers, etc.), can be powered off. This will also create a symlink "typec" for the USB devices pointing to the USB Type-C partner device.
