USB Power Delivery FRS values are defined in 
include/dt-bindings/usb/pd.h to fit with drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/tcpm.c 
frs_typec_current enum.

USB-C power operation mode values are defined in 
include/linux/usb/typec.h with typec_pwr_opmode enum and matching with 
string values of typec_pwr_opmodes tab.

USB PD requires USB-C.
USB-C doesn't requires USB PD.

drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/tcpm.c already used typec_pwr_opmode values.

USB PD specification Table 6-14 Fixed Supply PDO says:
Fast Role Swap required USB Type-C Current (see also [USB Type-C 2.0]):
Value | Description
  00b  | Fast Swap not supported (default)
  01b  | Default USB Power
  10b  | 1.5A @ 5V
  11b  | 3.0A @ 5V

Note the *see also USB Type-C 2.0*.

USB Type-C specification 4.6.2.1 USB Type-C Current says:
The USB Type-C connector uses CC pins for configuration including an 
ability for a Source to advertise to its port partner (Sink) the amount 
of current it shall supply:
• Default is the as-configured for high-power operation current value as 
defined by the USB Specification (500 mA for USB 2.0 ports; 900 mA or 
1,500 mA for USB 3.2 ports in single-lane or dual-lane operation, 
respectively)
• 1.5 A
• 3.0 A

I let USB PD specialists answer.

*frs* property fits with USB PD specification, so with USB PD protocol.
*power-opmode fits with USB Type-C specification, so with USB-C hardware 
support.

FRS is specific to products with Power Delivery Support.

power-opmode is dedicated to products with USB-C connector support.
