After tons of consternation, I'm starting to feel a little better about charging the Nexus 6P. The Android Life Post, unscientific as it might be, clearly shows that the Type C phone is not dropping to legacy USB power profiles. In addtion, the Type A to Type C cable on Google's Store site carries this footnote:
¹Charge rate will vary depending on the capabilities of the legacy USB port.
Read "legacy" as Type A. This clearly intimates that the charge rate will vary based on the output of the USB port. Hence a 2.4Ap charger will charge up to 2.4A and not 0.5A or 0.9A which are legacy rates. Hence, it is possible to run 3A from Type A to Type C given he appropriate charger and cable. But even 2.4A isn't bad.
