On some platforms, the Type-C plug orientation is given on a GPIO line.

Document this optional Type-C connector property, and take the
assumption an active level represents an inverted/flipped orientation.

Should this be a property of the connector or of the parent device node? 
I mean, unlike usb-b-connector (where ID and Vbus can be simple GPIOs 
nearly directly connected to the pins of the connector) for the USB-C 
the orientation is not a connector's GPIO, but rather some additional 
not elementary logic.

I'd argue that the _gpio_ is not a property of the connector itself. 
Generic USB-C connector will not have such orientation GPIO. But 
probably it is a minor issue.
