Sorry, I didn't quite understand you.

With this property the driver changes phy mode manually using debug regs 
instead of configuring hardware mode switching (because it's broken on 
some platforms). So every time the role in usb-role-switch changes, it 
has to switch phy mode. That's what I mean by "software".

I can rename this property to `mediatek,force-mode-switch` if that's a 
issue.
