These are ordinary PHY devices embedded in an SoC. I wouldn't really call them "switches", as they indeed provide the physical layer functionality for various interfaces, like USB, HDMI, MIPI CSI/DSI, etc. Their control interface is often very simple - usually only an enable and a reset control bit. But that can't change the fact they are real PHY devices, so let's not call them switches, that's just untrue.
