OK sorry yeah I misunderstood what you wanted then. I actually started
running into issues with extcon as it assumes that the extcon provider
can't be removed if there are consumers. So yeah let's scrap this usage
as it adds a bogus dependency between the charger driver and PHY driver.

OK

OK. I'll check and will post v3. My gut feeling is that IIO is better
for VBUS and ID as we want the values too.
For example ID pin can have multiple values, and it seems that many PHYs
can detect 102/200/440K pull-up on the ID pin for "carkit" mode etc. I'm
not yet sure if there are multiple ID pull-up values to be considered in
this case, but there is at least one pull-up value for detecting
"factory mode" where the device is supposed to be powered on USB only
even if there is no battery.
Also the VBUS in this case is the direct voltage from the battery as
far as I can tell so the voltage value should be considered.

OK
