Hmm, I don't see anything much in the documentation that flags why we 
want or need to toggle this.

It is probably necessary eventually, but, per my reading of the 
documents and working with the hardware, I couldn't justify the 
additional work.

However if you think this patchset needs the toggle, I can look into 
getting the indicator to toggle here too.

We'd need to add some sort of linked list of notifiers to the role 
switching logic and toggle them in order.

Similar to what is done in extcon now for the various notifer hooks.
