+- id-gpios: gpio for USB ID pin.
What about boards where the ID pin is *not* connected to a GPIO,
but e.g. to a special pin on the PMIC which can also detect
an ACA adapter ? Currently this case is handled by extcon
drivers, but we have no way to set e.g. vbus-supply for the
connector. Maybe in this case the usb-connector node should
be a child of the PMIC node ?
Yes, it would be, PMIC is in charger of detecting the status of ID pin
Ok, then I think this should be documented too.
And in many cases there also is a mux to switch the datalines
between the host and device(gadget) controllers, how should
that be described in this model? See the new usb-role-switch
code under drivers/usb/roles
In some cases the mux is controlled through a gpio, so we
may want to add a "mux-gpios" here in which case we also
need to define what 0/1 means.
I'm not sure, the mux seems not belong to this connector,
and may need another driver to register usb-role-switch,
similar to:
[v2,2/2] usb: typec: add typec switch via GPIO control
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10834327/
Right the mux/role-switch will need a driver, but the "owner"
of the usb_connector, e.g. the PMIC or the owner of the
id GPIO pin needs to know which device is the role-switch so
that it can set the role correctly based on the id-pin.
Your binding already contains Vbus info, allowing the owner
of the usb_connector to enable/disable Vbus based on the id-pin,
but the owner will also be responsible for setting the role-switch.
Note we cannot simply assume there will be only one role-switch,
we really need some link from the usb_connector to the role-switch
(or if it is a GPIO driven role-switch simply a role-switch-gpios
member in the usb_connector).
I see now in your "[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: usb: add documentation for
typec switch via GPIO" that you plan to use a
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt style binding for this,
adding a remote-endpoint to the orientation-switch (in that patch), or
to the role-switch.
But a Type-C port can have both an orientation-switch and a role-switch
(and a mux if it supports e.g. DP-altmode), how is the driver driving
the device which has the actual usb_c_connecter child-node to which
the remote-endpoints for both the orientation- and the role-switch points
supposed to figure out which is which ?
Also it feels the wrong-way around to me to have the orientation-switch
point to the usb_c_connector, to me it would make more sense to have
the usb_c_connector point to a port on the orientation-switch.
I just noticed you put an "orientation-switch" bool property in the device
which has the orientation-switch property, if we do something similar for
the role-switch then that should solve this.

Hans
