Then do that. Register a mode switch for each endpoint connected to a
USB-C connector. You can walk the graph to see what type of connector.

The only way I could see this as an issue is you have 2 USB-C
connectors and one is a mode switch and one is not. Not sure if such a
scenario is likely or possible. If it is, please educate me.

That code looks for 'mode-switch' in the device's node, not the
endpoint. So how does it work for you?
