It probably has to be usb-c-connector, because we have a
micro-usb-connector on the same board.

That's correct, the VBUS comes out of the PMIC and goes directly to the
connector.

The additional complicating factor here is that the connector is wired
to a USB2 phy as well, so we need to wire up detection and vbus control
to both of them - but I think this will be fine, if we can only figure
out a sane way of getting hold of the vbus-supply.
