If only consider typec switch via "gpio", existing "mux-gpio" binding may be used with property "mux-control-names" to be "typec-xxx" for match, but we still need create typec stuff at mux driver to hook to typec system, so little benefit, considering this binding is going to be for a generic typec orientation switch simple driver, I think a new typec binding make sense. > > > > I think you want flags 0 (aka GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH) unless there's an > > > inverter in the middle. > > > > This depends on the switch IC design and board design, leave 2 flags > > (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH and GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW) can cover all possible cases. > > > > NXP has 2 diff IC parts for this: > > 1.

Misunderstood your point, OK, I thought the "how to set the flags" was simple and clear enough: Use GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH if GPIO physical state high is for cc1; or Use GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW if GPIO physical state low is for cc1. > > > > > > > > > > + maxItems: 1 > > > > + > > > > + port: > > > > + type: object > > > > + additionalProperties: false > > > > + description: -| > > > > + Connection to the remote endpoint using OF graph bindings > > > > + that model > > > SS > > > > + data bus to typec connector. > > > > + > > > > + properties: > > > > + endpoint: > > > > + type: object > > > > + additionalProperties: false > > > > + > > > > + properties: > > > > + remote-endpoint: true > > > > + > > > > + required: > > > > + - remote-endpoint > > > > + > > > > + required: > > > > + - endpoint > > > > + > > > > +required: > > > > + - compatible > > > > + - port > > > > + > > > > +additionalProperties: false > > > > + > > > > +examples: > > > > + - | > > > > + #include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h> > > > > + ptn36043 { > > > > + compatible = "typec-orientation-switch"; > > > > + pinctrl-names = "default"; > > > > + pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_ss_sel>; > > > > + switch-gpios = <&gpio3 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; > > > > + > > > > + port { > > > > + usb3_data_ss: endpoint { > > > > + remote-endpoint = <&typec_con_ss>; > > > > > > The data goes from the connector to here and then where?

One instance of typec orientation switch defined by this binding only for One typec connector. With that, my understanding is Whether a connection need be described depends on if the connector (typec driver) need notify the host controller driver to do something (e.g. role switch need a connection between controller node and connector node for controller driver to swap usb role). If the mux/switch control is transparent to usb host controller (e.g. my case, usb controller drivers normally don't need do anything for orientation change), there is no need to describe connection between orientation switch node and host controller node.
