Allow specifying data-lanes to reverse the SBU muxing orientation where
necessary by the hardware design.

What situation in the hardware design makes this necessary. Please
describe the problem.

Doesn't this depend on the connector orientation? Or it is both that and
the lines can be swapped on the PCB?

Seems like an abuse of data-lanes which already has a definition which
is not about swapping + and - differential lanes.

The FSA acts as a mux between DP AUX, Audio lanes on one side and
the USB-C SBU lanes on the other side.

The SBU1 & SBU2 are connected to the USB-C connector, and the actual orientation
to the connected devices/cable/whatever is determined by the TPCM and the MUX in
the FSA4480 with be dynamically changed according to the CC1/CC2 detection and PD alt mode.

But on the other side the orientation of the AUX+/AUX- connected to the SoC
is not tied to the USB-C orientation but how it's routed on the PCB.

This describes how the AUX+/AUX- are physically routed to the FSA4480 chip.
