Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your request, but I think this is the worst
case you're talking about.

&usb_ss_phy_in is a reference to the PHY, which does switching/muxing of
the SuperSpeed lanes in the connector, but the PHY provides no control
over the SBU signals.

So this sbu-mux is a separate component between the SBU-pads on the SoC
and the usb-c-connector, referenced through he &sbu_mux_in reference.


So upon e.g. a orientation switch, the typec_switch_set() call the tcpm
implementation will request orientation switching from port@1 and port@2
(no orientation-switch on port@0/HS pins).

Bjorn
