Although this will fix the issue I don't think this is making the driver to behave
as expected with usb-role-switch property.

Now, even if usb-role-switch property is not present the driver will still register
the role switch driver.

I think we need to register the role switch driver only if usb-role-switch property
is present. We would also need to set the default role if role-switch-default-mode is present.

How about the following? It still doesn't handle role-switch-default-mode property though.
