extcon naming means various external connector device. e.g., usb, jack, etc...
So, I prefer 'dra7xx_usb' instead of 'dra7xx_extcon'. I have plan to divide
extcon device driver according to the kind of device.

OK.

But I don't want to use kthread with polling method.
I recommend that you use interrupt method for cable detection.
All of extcon device driver have only used interrupt method without polling.

You should define some constant variable to clarify '0' meaning instead of using '0' directly.

ok.

ditto.
You should define some constant variable to clarify 'dra7xx_usb->id_prev' meaning.

As I mentioned above, I don't prefer interrupt method for cable detection.
Polling method for detection isn't appropriate for extcon device driver.

Instead, I will consider whether to support polling method or not on extcon core.
