usb_role_switch_is_parent() was walking up to the parent node and checking
for the "usb-role-switch" property regardless of the type of the passed
fwnode. This could cause unrelated device nodes to be probed as potential
role switch parent, leading to spurious matches and "-EPROBE_DEFER" being
returned infinitely.
Till now only Type-B connector node will have a parent node which may
present "usb-role-switch" property and register the role switch device.
For Type-C connector node, its parent node will always be a Type-C chip
device which will never register the role switch device. However, it may
still present a non-boolean "usb-role-switch = <&usb_controller>" property
for historical compatibility.
So restrict the helper to only operate on Type-B connector when attempting
to get the role switch from parent node.
