I don't see issue that we use just 2 events. I think that we can
reuse  enum extcon_cable_name and strings already defined in 
extcon_cable_name[][] global variable. It is defined extern in
extcon.h file exactly for this purpose, no?

No strong opinion on this. Could it be that GPIO did't support edge
triggered interrupt, but just level triggered?
