Subject: [RFC] Fix stuck UCSI controller on DELL

I have a DELL Latitude 5431 where typec only works somewhat.
After the first plug/unplug event the PPM seems to be stuck and
commands end with a timeout (GET_CONNECTOR_STATUS failed (-110)).

This patch fixes it for me but according to my reading it is in
violation of the UCSI spec. On the other hand searching through
the net it appears that many DELL models seem to have timeout problems
with UCSI.

Do we want some kind of quirk here? There does not seem to be a quirk
framework for this part of the code, yet. Or is it ok to just send the
additional ACK in all cases and hope that the PPM will do the right
thing?

     regards   Christian
