Doesn't that mean that if we made fwnode_usb_role_switch_get() the way
I proposed, there is no problem? You just find the "connector" child
node in your driver, and pass that to fwnode_usb_role_switch_get():

struct fwnode_handle *connector;
...
connector = device_get_named_child_node(&client->dev, "connector");
if (IS_ERR(connector))
<do something>

hd3ss3220->role_sw = fwnode_usb_role_switch_get(connector);
...

The difference is that instead of just converting a device node of an
usb role switch to the usb role switch, it works just like
usb_role_switch_get(), just taking fwnode instead of device entry as
parameter.

I prepared the patches implementing fwnode_usb_role_switch_get() the
way I though it needs to work for my own tests. Please find the
patches attached.

thanks,
