Hi Rob,

Thank you for reviewing the patch. Kindly see my comments inline:

Are you referring to the "mode-switch", "orientation-switch" and
"usb-role-switch" properties? If so, then yes, they aren't Cros EC
specific. The Type C connector class framework requires the nodes to be
named like this, and the cros-ec-typec driver uses this framework, hence
the description here (the Type C connector class framework doesn't have
any bindings).

Would it be better to add in the description string that Type Connector
class expects these switches to be named this way? :

" Reference to a DT node for the USB Type C Multiplexer controlling the
data lines routing for this connector. This switch is assumed registered
with the Type C connector class framework, which requires it to be named
this way."

Yes, that's right.

Heikki might be able to offer more insight into why this is the case,
since the connector class framework seems to expect a phandle and for
the device driver to implement a "set" command. Heikki, would you happen to know?

Similar to the other "-switch", this will contain a phandle to a device
which can control orientation settings for the Type C Mux. The connector
class API assumes the switches are named this way. For example:

orientation-switch:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.7-rc2/source/drivers/usb/typec/mux.c#L64

mode-switch:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.7-rc2/source/drivers/usb/typec/mux.c#L258
