Thanks a lot for testing Martin!

Your email is a little ambiguous to me. With the 12 refactor commits +
the 4 patches in this series, things are breaking for you. But if you
drop the 4 patches in this series, things work again. Is that right?

Let's ignore the "Failed to create device link" errors for now -- it's
not related to this usb-c-connector series. It's basically pointing
out issues that we ignored silently in the past -- it's basically
pointing out holes in fw_devlink's visibility of devices. I'll get to
them later.
