We have a type c driver that first calls role switch in glue.
The role switching function in glue will call the role switching function in core.

Type c driver setting switch role function:
      |----> Set role in the glue
                   |----> Set roles in the core
                   |----> switch_usb2_dr_mode in glue

I didn't add any new phy_set_mode to dwc3/core.
I mean use existing callback, as follows
