As Minkyu Kang is on holiday until 9/27. I reply it instead. he will
give more information when returned.
I just explain the how to work and what's the purpose to export functions.

It's difficult to find it at web, I'll check it but maybe difficult.

When connect the usb cable, then read USB ID(?) or something and
switch the mux automatically.
e.g, when you connect the car kit then it switch the path to car kit.
Can't turn off the USB devices. only switch the USB path.

To Minkyu, It's should be EXPORT_SYMBOL???

Even though it switch the USB path automatically, we don't use the
full path for each purpose.
e.g., we don't use the V(ideo)Audio or Audio. it's connected it for
other purpose.
In this case we switch it by manually by MAN(ual) Switch register.

It's used check what's the current switch status at other drivers.
