Add instructions for enabling USB-C Power port (interface ①) as host mode on A7Z using device tree overlay. The port defaults to device mode; this guide shows how to switch it to host mode via rsetup to connect peripherals such as wireless mouse receivers, keyboards and USB flash drives. Note: this branch is created fresh from upstream/main to ensure no DC-power-related content from the original PR is carried over.

Hi @jack-ma, this PR is created fresh from upstream/main with all DC-power-related content completely removed. The guide now only covers the USB-C Power port (interface ①) as host mode overlay, without any mention of DC power interfaces. The old PR #1492 has been closed. Please review when you have time. |

Description
Add instructions for enabling USB-C Power port (interface ①, USB-C 2.0 OTG & Power) as host mode on A7Z using device tree overlay. This allows connecting peripherals like wireless mouse receivers and keyboards to the USB-C Power port.
Changes
docs/cubie/a7z/hardware-use/type-c.mdMotivation
Customers frequently ask why peripherals don't work when connected to the USB-C Power port. The port defaults to device mode and requires a device tree overlay to switch to host mode.
