For the USB node, we kept the same implementation as the original function interface, and the devicetree node definition also remains unchanged.
In subsequent patches, I will follow Krzysztof’s suggestion to use a separate DT-binding to describe the DP PHY configuration, 
without making changes to the USB devicetree and DT-binding implementation.

I can't access MSM8998 / SDM660 documents now, but I have confirmed detail info about USB & DP phy design for sm6150.

The 'usb-ssphy-qmp-usb3-or-dp PHY' on the current platform is essentially composed of three sub-PHYs, 
which can even be considered as three separate PHYs: USB3 primary PHY, USB3 secondary PHY, and USB3 DP PHY.

On the QCS615, the USB primary PHY is currently used to handle USB 3.0 communication for the previously mentioned four USB Type-A ports, 
while the USB3 secondary PHY and USB3 DP PHY are used for the output of the Type-C port,
but since the Type-C port is forcibly pin-to-pin configured to the video out board, the Type-C port will always configure as DP PHY.

The internal registers of these three PHYs are independent of each other, Neither their respective SWPWR_DN nor SWRST will affect the other two PHYs.
Additionally, there was a misunderstanding about the orientation previously.
The USB orientation setting only affects the current PHY and does not impact the DP PHY. The DP PHY is configured in the DP_PHY_CFG_1.

TSCR_PHY_MODE can specify which PHY outputs to the Type-C port, and the global reset will simultaneously reset the two associated PHYs. 
Therefore, the correct switching process is as follows.
When switching the inserted device:
	1.Identify the PHY type.
	2.Enable the regulator.
	3.Trigger a reset.
	4.Enable the clock.
	5.Configure PHY type related orientation
	6.switch the TCSR PHY mode.
	7.Configure the registers of PHY.
During release:
	1.Reset.
	2.Disable the clock.
	3.Disable the regulator.

Our current design overall complies with this process, but it lacks the configuration for DP_PHY_CFG_1.

Shall we continue the discussion to clarify remain comments of the USBC driver?
