I just don't see any need for these `vconn-en*-gpios`, because the control is performed directly by the OCM firmware via GPIOs in the ANX7688 chip, outside of the control of the Linux driver, and the driver doesn't even care about the status of these pins. And if it will ever care, the status can be read via I2C from the ANX7688 chip directly. kind regards, o. > Thanks a lot for the review, I am not very familiar with usb and type-c, so your review helps a lot. > I will send v6 soon. > > Thanks, > Dafna
