Sorry, I must have failed at applying the patch - it doesn't work...

We pass id as "mode-switch", so this will never be NULL. But we also only
want to consider endpoints with "mode-switch", otherwise we'll fail if
any of the referred endpoints is not implementing a typec_mux...

So this needs the same snippet we find in typec_switch_match():

	/*
	 * Device graph (OF graph) does not give any means to identify the
	 * device type or the device class of the remote port parent that @fwnode
	 * represents, so in order to identify the type or the class of @fwnode
	 * an additional device property is needed. With typec switches the
	 * property is named "orientation-switch" (@id). The value of the device
	 * property is ignored.
	 */
	if (id && !fwnode_property_present(fwnode, id))
	        return NULL;

With that, this works as expected!
