The 'role-switch-default-mode' property is read by the driver to set the
initial role for the port [0] and is needed in order for the port to work
when booting so in order to fix the warning this property needs to be added
to the binding.

As for the other warning ('connector' is a dependency of 'usb-role-switch')
again I think the binding needs to be adjusted since in the Pixel C the
connector node should be under the (as for now not present)
cros-ec-typec node and the usb2-0 is then modeled as a remote-endpoint
for the full connector. I am currently working on fixing the cros-ec-typec
driver and already have a working fix for automatic role switching but
in any case I think the binding is what needs changing. If you agree
with this then I will add the necessary changes to the DT binding in v2.

Thanks,
Diogo
