The implementation you see in this patch follows the guidance of yours 
and Rob’s. I already expressed my discontent about it before.

To solve the message, the dt-bindings of extcon device sm5502-muic [1] 
would need to be changed to allow a "connector" sub-node. That’s not the 
right approach.

I still have the impression that the current implementation is based on 
misunderstandings. I do think Rob’s comment that excon phandle being 
deprecated [2] is valid for the USB subsystem. Your suggestion to check 
"ports graph", "orientation" and "usb-role-switch" applies to USB 
subsystem as well [3]. Rob took the time to add more explanation [4] but 
it’s still about handling connectors in the more strict sense, which is 
circling around UBS subsystem.

These discussions led to a strangely mixed-up result. I was pushed to 
implement the USB subsystem connector approach upon an excton subsystem 
device. As the standard USB connector approach didn’t fit, we switched 
to a vendor-specific connector phandle [5]. In fact it’s kind of a 
workaround for the extcon phandle.

The extcon device sm5504 is a real piece of hardware. It’s not handled 
by USB subsystem but by extcon subsystem. The excton subsystem has a 
method implemented to get the device by phandle [6].

I therefore propose to use the phandle of the extcon subsystem. I mean 
extcon subsystem, not USB subsystem. In case you disagree, I kindly ask 
you to take more time to answer in more detail and especially 
case-related. And specifically to Krzysztof I ask for more politeness in 
your way of communicating. I understand you’re answering hundreds of 
requests a day but the communication we had in the past weeks is really 
frustrating.
