Yes, basically.

type would be micro? I think type and "usb-b-connector" are fine if this
is a superset like a USB3 SS micro connector.

How do you know it is a Samsung connector then? Just because you have
port 3? I think it is better to be explicit.

So video on Type C would be on port 1 (SS), endpoint ? ? That's not
defined in the binding and I want to define it.

That's another case I hadn't considered. I was mainly thinking just how
to handle Type C.
