		as synchronous operation, so write(2) to the attribute will not
		return until the operation has finished. The attribute is
		notified about role changes so that poll(2) on the attribute
		wakes up. Change on the role will also generate uevent
		KOBJ_CHANGE on the port. The current role is show in brackets,
		for example "[host] device" when DRP port is in host mode.

		Valid values: host, device
