[PATCH] usb: typec: tcpci: add alert.fault handling

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add minimal handling to clear the ALERT.Fault bit which may be set in
case of an over-current or over-voltage detection. At the moment only
the IRQ clear support is added since the TCPC Spec mentions that the
handling of such events is vendor specific.
