Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Hardware lane muxing is never actively updated for USB-only devices upon replug or orientation change, breaking USB SuperSpeed in reverse orientation on ports that do not power-cycle the PHY.

phy: rockchip: usbdp: Re-init the PHY on orientation change

This commit updates the driver to record cable orientation changes and set the
phy_needs_reinit flag. It aims to fix DP functionality breaking when the cable
is re-plugged with a swapped orientation.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this actually flush the re-initialization
to the hardware if the USB PHY is already running?

When a user replugs a USB-only Type-C device in reverse orientation on a port
where the USB controller does not power-cycle the PHY on unplug, for example in
host mode, rk_udphy_orien_sw_set() notes the orientation change and sets
udphy->phy_needs_reinit = true.

However, because the USB controller keeps the PHY powered on,
udphy->status & UDPHY_MODE_USB remains true.

When rk_udphy_typec_mux_set() is called later to handle the mux event, it
appears to skip actively re-initializing the PHY if the USB mode is already
active:

    if ((udphy->mode & UDPHY_MODE_USB) && !(udphy->status & UDPHY_MODE_USB) &&
        udphy->usb_in_use && !udphy->hs)
        return rk_udphy_power_on(udphy, UDPHY_MODE_USB);

    return 0;

Could this leave the hardware stuck in the old orientation state and break USB
SuperSpeed, causing it to fall back to USB 2.0 upon reverse replug?
