i was thinking more along the lines of the kernel assuming there's a retimer based on "mode-switch".
Currently, the kernel code just assumes that there is a retimer whenever the conn device exists (retimer presence is not dependent on `mode-switch`).
This patch (and the corresponding kernel patches), make it explicit (retimer only registered when "retimer-switch" exists).
No device (production) uses this device, so there isn't an issue of ABI incompatibility.
Skyrim will be the first device to use it.
