I've just taken a look at the schematics of the MBP16,1 and it turns out that T2 *is* the gmux. The chip is called H9M. The interaction with the OS is through that MMIO area.
There's a GPIO expander attached to T2 via I2C (NXP PCAL6524), probably because they didn't have enough GPIO pins available on T2 itself. The GPIO expander enables/disables the voltage regulators of the discrete GPU, hence can cut power to it. It also drives panel power and has a GPIO to switch the mux.
The mux is an NXP CBTL06142 as on previous models.
Thanks,
Lukas
