The Linux driver (drivers/usb/typec/mux/gpio-sbu-mux.c) is using only
"gpio-sbu-mux", just in case you did not check yourself already.

As of now there is no DT file in-tree using this new compatible, FWIW
"onnn,fsusb43l10x" in the same file is not used by anybody. From some
old discussion here [1] (not exactly the same - I know, and coming not
from a DT kernel maintainer) I assumed that it was fine to send such
a change.

If it's not the case we'll send the patch later on, however some
DT files maintainers (e.g. arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/) have a policy to
just accept DT file in which the binding changes are already merged
therefore I was trying to be a little bit proactive here.
