Please see and participate in the recent discussions around USB-C 
connectors:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220810204750.3672362-2-bjorn.andersson@xxxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220622173605.1168416-1-pmalani@xxxxxxxxxxxx/

As mentioned there, I want to see block diagrams of the h/w for these 
bindings.

The mux binding may be a good solution here, but different muxing 
scenarios need to be considered.

Wrap lines at 80 char.

I think that 'mux-states' is what you want to use here.
