I have no idea what it is, and how to change it.
How did you do that on other GNU/Linux?
Clonezilla live is based on Debian or Ubuntu Linux, therefore if you can do it on other GNU/Linux, there is no any reason that you can not do that on Clonezilla live. Unless it lacks some packages you need.
If so, please let us know.
Thanks.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm trying to change the state of the type c usb port from host to device, newer computers with Intel chipsets are supposed to be able to do it.
lspci shows the USB driver xhci_pci
I did a modprobe dwc3_pci and the driver was still xhci_pci
Just to confirm, it is the hardware and not because of something that is missing in clonezilla?
cat /sys/class/typec/port0/datarole
shows
host device
meaning it could switch to either roles

This article explains quite nicely what's USB dual role

This article explains the various device modes available

Another article https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2019/02/18/modern-usb-gadget-on-linux-and-how-to-integrate-it-with-systemd-part-1/
So did you successfully switch the mode in any GNU/Linux?
If so, which version and which distribution of GNU/Linux did you use?
