Humm, that's not how the mux binding works. The mux controller is what drives the mux select lines and is the provider. The consumer is the mux device itself. What decides the mux state is determined by what you are muxing, not which node has mux-controls property. By putting mux-controls in fusb302 node, you are saying fusb302 is a mux (or contains a mux). >>> As for putting it in a type-C connector node, currently we do not have >>> such >>> a node, >> >> >> Well, you should.

Well this is a new one (maybe, I suppose others have sneaked by). If ACPI folks want to use DT bindings, then what do I care. But I have no interest in reviewing ACPI properties. The whole notion of sharing bindings between DT and ACPI beyond anything trivial is flawed IMO.

Then don't document this stuff as DT bindings when it is not really.
