Type-C is going to be a lot of "fun", but the SMC is not directly involved.
I still don't have a full picture but these boards have TPS6598x chips
which trigger the entire mess whenever a new mode was negotiated and the
"Apple Type-C PHY" contains the actual mux.
The SMC has a side channel to these TPS6598x chips as well but it seems
to only handle charging without having to communicate with whatever kernel
is running on the main processor.
