The "USB_IN" pad of the PM8916 seems to be connected on pretty much all
devices, even if they are using external chargers and the charging
functionality of PM8916 is completely disabled. For those devices, the
&pm8916_usbin device provides a convenient way to detect the USB state,
even without a working charger driver.
While we could modify the PM8916 charger driver and DT node to have some
special mode where charging and battery monitoring is completely
disabled and only the USBIN extcon is provided, I'm not sure if that
would provide a significant advantage compared to just keeping the
simple &pm8916_usbin node with the existing driver.
