Thank you for the explanation. I got the picture now. I realized that
there is some online information for this board:
https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/hikey/hikey960/hardware-docs/hardware-user-manual.md.html#usb-ports

So that mux is actually _not_ switching between the host and device
modes, but instead, it's switching between Type-C and Type-A
connectors (I'm skipping the hub, as it's irrelevant from the PoW of
the mux), so I've misunderstood. And yes, you did say that it is
switching between connectors in the commit message, but I got confused
because you are registers a role switch.

I don't think you should register a role switch from this driver. This
driver is not really representing USB role switch. The mux on this
board is something else. Instead you should register the role switch
from the dwc3 drd code. That is the part that is representing the role
switch here. I actually think that we should do that in any case. The
dwc3 drd code should always register a role switch.

We can solve the problem of getting the role change events in this
driver by adding notification chain to struct usb_role_switch (check
the attached diff). You would then just need to call
usb_role_switch_get() and usb_role_switch_register_notifier(), and
wait for those notifications. The extcon device does not serve any
purpose anymore.

This driver would continue to take care of the hub powering and the
mux, and also the VBUS like before.
