Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for the review.

I agree with your assessment that drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ is a good
location for the driver currently. However, the driver is still in
early stages of development. We may have to account for PDC/ EC quirks
(we have multiple vendors), add FW update functionality outside the
UCSI spec, or add PDC logging functionality. While I'd like to write
separate drivers for those, some of this functionality will need to
acquire a lock over communication to the PDC. Even if I were to write
separate drivers for new functionality related to the PDC, maybe it's
better for all ChromeOS PDC related drivers to reside in the same
location. I am not sure what form this driver will take in the near
future, thus I would prefer to keep it in platform/chrome. Maybe
cros_ec_ucsi isn't the best name here, cros_ec_pdc probably conveys
the intention better.

Thanks,
Pavan
