Drop that Reported-by tag.

Whoa, do not tie TYPEC to another subsystem like that! You probable
want to make your driver depend on that instead.

That does not belong here...

That code is broken - you return a switch that has never been
registered - but never mind that...

You need to register the switch from the place/driver that actually
handles the orientation. If you really think that you have to have a
generic multiplexer class wrapper layer for these switches, then you
need to propose a multiplexer class wrapper driver for that. Though,
I'm not sure you need that.

There is a GPIO driver proposal for these switches, so can you take a
look if that covers your case as well:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20220810204750.3672362-3-bjorn.andersson@xxxxxxxxxx/#t

In any case, you can't mix that code into the device class code itself
like you do above. That kind of coupling is always going to be fragile
(as we can see above), but more importantly, it forces the dependency
on every Type-C driver, and that is completely wrong.

So please keep the subsystems themselves independent of each other and
handle things in the device drivers.

thanks,
