Do we really need to ACK in this case since we didn't process the

Retrying is a good idea, but ucsi_check_connection() doesn't have the
full functionality compared to handle_connector_change. I guess
ucsi_check_connection() will send a set_role, but won't handle the
connector_change scenarios happening due to PR/DR swap, which will lead
to deadlocks (due to wait_for_completion). This is just an example. So
its better to bail out and process the next events, because the failure
here is from the glink layer.

You won't get the next event before the first one was ACK'd, right?

Fair enough.

The spec says that we need to ACK if we received AND processed a CCI

"4.5.4 Acknowledge Command Completion and/or Change Indication (R)
This command is used to acknowledge to the PPM that the OPM received and
processed a Command Completion and/or a Connector Change Indication."

And here in this case, we have received, but not processed the event.
So I'm not really sure what to do here in this case. If we don't send an
ACK, then would the PPM think that OPM is not responding and reset it?
OR would it resend the previous event again since we didn't ACK?
