Right now, for SoCs, I can only name the SM8550 from Qualcomm. But I
would think there will be more from now on, not just from Qualcomm.
But I found a couple of more repeaters already existent. Like TUSB2E11
or TUSB2E22 from TI or PTN3222 from NXP. I'm not sure if they are used
already alongside any specific SoC though (yet).
Anyway, I can rephrase that.

Sure thing. Will do.

Yes. Will document them appropriately.
