I'll go over these tomorrow, but I have one question already. Can you
guys influence what goes to the ACPI tables?

Ideally every Type-C connector is always described in its own ACPI
node (or DT node if DT is used). Otherwise getting the correct
capabilities and especially connections to other devices (like the
muxes) for every port may get difficult.

Br,
