But it changes the type-c class philosophy. There is already an API to 
convert string into enum, the same kind is used for data-role and 
power-role properties.
Moveover, FRS values doesn't fit with typec_pwr_opmode enum:
enum typec_pwr_opmode {
	TYPEC_PWR_MODE_USB,
	TYPEC_PWR_MODE_1_5A,
	TYPEC_PWR_MODE_3_0A,
	TYPEC_PWR_MODE_PD,
};
