The #1 and #2 can't be supported at the same time. For #3, it is not the use case for this design. #3 is usually used for the single port which needs to support switching role on the fly without disconnection. So, you may only need to consider #2, you can't use extcon-usb-gpio.c directly since you need to set one gpio to mux the dp/dm, Baolu Lu had USB MUX patch set before which may satisfy your requirement.
