Correct, the registration of QMP as a typec_switch and typec_mux and
handling of respective notification remains open and should (by design)
be independent of the TCPM implementation.

In particular the orientation switching is an itch worth scratching at
this time. But when the DPU becomes capable of producing 4k@60 output it
would obviously be nice to have the whole shebang :)
