source-pdos is OK, I was referring to the typec-power-opmode = "3.0A" line just
above where I commented. As I read it, that'd mean the board would advertise
via the CC pins that it could source 5V/3A when USB PD is not in use.
The wiki says it can only source up to 5V/2A.

Given this consistency across the schematic and vendor sources, I believe 2A is an appropriate value for this configuration.
