Support for this has already landed, but so far has only been tested on a x86/ACPI device, where the firmware-nodes parsed by the new typec_port_register_altmodes() helper are setup through software-nodes, see: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7b458a4c5d7302947556e12c83cfe4da769665d0 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=55d8b34772e0728a224198ba605eed8cfc570aa0 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3d28466e5f4f8 In theory this should be usable for devicetree as is. But that would require documenting the current in kernel swnode bindings as official devicetree bindings and getting that through the devicetree bindings review process. I have deliberately not done this because the devicetree maintainers have asked for properties / swnode "bindings" used only inside the kernel (1) to NOT be documented as official devicetree bindings, they (the dt bindings maintainers) want to first see at least one real devicetree users before adding things like this to the official devicetree bindings docs. Note if the way typec_port_register_altmodes() parses the fwnode properties needs to change as result of the devicetree bindings review process, please let me know, because then the swnode-s created in drivers/platform/x86/intel/int33fe/intel_cht_int33fe_typec.c need to change to match so as to not regress things on those devices.
