USB role switch is a device that can be used to choose the data role for USB connector. With dual-role capable USB controllers, the controller itself will be the switch, but on some platforms the USB host and device controllers are separate IPs and there is a mux between them and the connector. On those platforms the mux driver will need to register the switch. With USB Type-C connectors, the host-to-device relationship is negotiated over the Configuration Channel (CC). That means the USB Type-C drivers need to be in control of the role switch. The class provides a simple API for the USB Type-C drivers for the control. For other types of USB connectors (mainly microAB) the class provides user space control via sysfs attribute file that can be used to request role swapping from the switch.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
