It looks like your "external" controller is not described. Look at your
port property - "Connection to USB Type-C connector". Lack of proper
hardware description leads you to claim that the PHY is the mode switch.
I have doubts on that.
You already received the comments that you need to come with rationale
why making PHY a USB switch is correct. I don't see the arguments for
that.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
