Yes. The IT527x series shares the same programming interface as
IT8851/IT8853: same register map, same UCSI command path, and the
driver does not branch on the part number -- neither match entry
carries match data.

The integrated MUX/SBU on IT527x is transparent to the host. The mux
and retimer are resolved through the connector's OF graph, so a board
without an external mux simply has no port@2 and the same code path
does the right thing.

I will drop the "ite,it5271" entry in v2 and express the relationship
as a fallback in the binding instead, consistent with ite,it8853. I
will also update MODULE_DESCRIPTION to cover the IT527x series.

Thanks,
Amber

So devices are fully compatible?
