Honestly I'm torn between whatever works for you because this is pretty 
"special" dev board design and it should more accurately match the 
hardware design. I think we can do the later and it doesn't really need 
anything new.

As a whole this is HiSilicon specific, but really it is not. It's really 
just a hub, a mux, and connectors for which we have bindings for. I 
think you need to model the actual hub in DT. We have 2 ways already to 
describe hubs in DT: a I2C device or USB device. 

AIUI, the board looks something like this:

ctrl -> mux --> hub -> type-a connector
            +-> type-c connector

If the hub I2C is not used, then you could do something like this:

ctrl {
    mux-controls = <&usb_gpio_mux>;
    connector@0 {
	// type C connector binding
    };
    hub@1 {
	// USB device binding
    };
};

Or if I2C is used and the hub is under the I2C controller:

ctrl {
    port@0 {
        mux-controls = <&usb_gpio_mux>;
        endpoint@0 { // mux state 0
		remote-endpoint = <&usb_c_connector_port>;
	};
        endpoint@1 { // mux state 1
		remote-endpoint = <&usb_hub_port>;
	};
};

The only new bindings you really need are adding 'mux-controls' to the 
USB host controller and the hub binding (we already have a few).

If the USB2 and USB3 signals come from 2 different host controller 
nodes, then I think it will need to look like the 2nd case regardless 
of I2C. (It's strange that USB3 was not routed to Type-C connector. Can 
you do USB2 on Type-C and USB3 on hub simultaneously? You need USB2 to 
enumerate, right?)

This should be modeled as a GPIO regulator, and belongs as part of a 
connector node. See bindings/connector/usb-connector.txt.

This would be the gpio-mux binding instead.

This should be modeled as a GPIO regulator. 

What about the reset line on the hub?

This normally is a controller property. Role switch is foreign to the 
hub, so doesn't really belong there for sure.
