Ah, typec_mux_match() is a mess. I'm sorry about that. I think most of
the code in that function is not used by anybody. If I remember
correctly, all that complexity is attempting to solve some
hypothetical corner case(s). Probable a case where we have multiple
muxes per port to deal with.

I think it would probable be best to clean the function to the bare
minimum by keeping only the parts that are actually used today
(attached).

thanks,
