I see now in your "[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: usb: add documentation for
typec switch via GPIO" that you plan to use a
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt style binding for this,
adding a remote-endpoint to the orientation-switch (in that patch), or
to the role-switch.
But a Type-C port can have both an orientation-switch and a role-switch
(and a mux if it supports e.g. DP-altmode), how is the driver driving
the device which has the actual usb_c_connecter child-node to which
the remote-endpoints for both the orientation- and the role-switch points
supposed to figure out which is which ?
Also it feels the wrong-way around to me to have the orientation-switch
point to the usb_c_connector, to me it would make more sense to have
the usb_c_connector point to a port on the orientation-switch.

Hans
