I look into the spec of fsa9480, it indeed detect many USB accessories.

Sorry, you mean provide a common API? could you please describe more clearer about your suggestion? Introducing a single driver using usb_role_switch will help to keep transparent for USB controller driver, no matter it uses type-c or micro Thanks a lot > > I just get a bit insecure about how we should ideally > handle these "funny-PHY's". > > Yours, > Linus Walleij
