I think that check could be done in typec_switch_match(). Just pass
that sw_devs to it as "data":

- count = fwnode_connection_find_matches(fwnode, "orientation-switch", NULL,
+ count = fwnode_connection_find_matches(fwnode, "orientation-switch", sw_devs,

And then in typec_switch_match(), probable as the second last step:

static void *typec_switch_match(const struct fwnode_handle *fwnode,
const char *id, void *data)
{
+ struct typec_switch_dev *sw_devs = data;
+ int i;
...
dev = class_find_device(&typec_mux_class, NULL, fwnode,
switch_fwnode_match);

+ /* Skip duplicates */
+ for (i = 0; i < TYPEC_MUX_MAX_DEVS; i++)
+ if (to_typec_switch_dev(dev) == sw_devs[i]) {
+ put_device(dev);
+ return NULL;
+ }

return dev ? to_typec_switch_dev(dev) : ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER);
}

thanks,
