As you comment, It is only for extcon consumer.
But extcon provider driver always is operated with extcon consumer driver.
If dts file don't support upper dt data about extcon provider driver,
all of extcon consumer drivers could not use extcon subsystem.
I thinks it is common dt data for muic device.
