I believe you are trying Guenter's (CCd) Type-C Port Manager series. He is the correct best person to answer questions about that. But that series is RFC, so you can't really expect everything to be in place. It is more like proof of concept at this point. But we probable need to talk about how to extract the platform specific details needed for the config in any case (and also what exactly is needed) at one point. I think we can get all of them with device properties regardless of the system (ACPI/DT/whatever), so we would just need to agree on the what the properties are. Also adding the list.
