I did some more looking into this, and agree that I can drop the
property_enabled lines here. The other concern I had immediately (that
the bits never get turned off, which seemed fishy) isn't a concern after
all, because after sleeping on it some more, I realised that it's probably
not very likely that a USB-C connector is ever going to morph into anything
else spontaneously.

Thank you for spotting this!
