(dev is the device of connector) case 2: &mtu3 { usb-role-switch; connector { compatible = "linux,typeb-conn-gpio", "usb-b-connector"; label = "micro-USB"; type = "micro"; id-gpios = <&pio 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; vbus-supply = <&usb_p0_vbus>; }; }; the driver of connector using usb_role_switch_get(dev) failed to get mtu3's USB Role Switch. error log: #OF: graph: no port node found in /usb@11271000/connector this is because connector hasn't child node connected to remote endpoint which register USB Role Switch case 3: rsw_iddig: role_sw_iddig { compatible = "linux,typeb-conn-gpio"; status = "okay"; connector { compatible = "usb-b-connector"; label = "micro-USB"; type = "micro"; id-gpios = <&pio 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; vbus-supply = <&usb_p0_vbus>; port { bconn_ep: endpoint@0 { remote-endpoint = <&usb_role_sw>; }; }; }; }; &mtu3 { usb-role-switch; port { usb_role_sw: endpoint@0 { remote-endpoint = <&bconn_ep>; }; }; }; the driver of connector using usb_role_switch_get(dev) also failed to get mtu3's USB Role Switch. Because usb_role_switch_get() only search its child nodes (connector node), but not child's child (port node) This case is the same as Biju's Usually type-c is similar with case 3; the next version v6 of this series will use case 2 as Rob suggested, see [v5, 2/6] for case 2, will need the new API fwnode_usb_role_switch_get(); for case 3, use the new API, or need modify usb_role_switch_get();
