Then the actual usage doesn't match the schema. usb-c-connector
clearly defines HS, SS and SBU ports
The snps,dwc3.yaml describes ports as ones handling usb-role-switch,
but then clearly writes that port@0 is HS and port@1 is SS. As such, I
think, the correct name for the ports is to have _hs_ in the name

We have pmic-typec/port, separate graph port for role-switching
(supported by TCPM code), but we didn't use it at all on our platforms
(nor do we need it, as we use the HS port).
