Its a bit restrictive IMO, data-role and power-role switching is not limited to HS and in fact can be done with a GPIO for example.

/Looks in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/connector/usb-connector.yaml

Yeah I mean this just doesn't cover all use-cases ..

ports:
$ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/ports
description: OF graph bindings modeling any data bus to the connector
unless the bus is between parent node and the connector. Since a single
connector can have multiple data buses every bus has an assigned OF graph
port number as described below.

properties:
port@0:
$ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port
description: High Speed (HS), present in all connectors.

port@1:
$ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port
description: Super Speed (SS), present in SS capable connectors.

port@2:
$ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port
description: Sideband Use (SBU), present in USB-C. This describes the
alternate mode connection of which SBU is a part.

TBH I think we should drop this HS, SS stuff from the connector definition - there's nothing to say in a h/w definition anywhere HS must be a port or indeed SS - not all hardware knows or cares about different HS/SS signalling.
