Suggestions for allowing drivers to detect USB Type-C MUX (switch)

[Pin-yen Lin]

Hi all,

We would like to submit a patch series to allow drivers to detect USB
Type-C orientation/mux changes, but we received different opinions
from the maintainers and we are not sure how to proceed. I am sending
out this email to start the discussion and collect your feedback.

In previous works[1] by Jun, Rob suggested using general mux
controller drivers to support this. But, in later patches, Heikki
suggested moving the logic into Type-C MUX controllers
(drivers/usb/typec/mux.c).

Could anyone please suggest a direction for this patch series?

Please let me know if I misunderstood the background.

Best regards,
Pin-yen
