Now I see that extcon_dev_register() expect NULL terminated array of
pointers, so it will not be possible to use enum extcon_cable_name
as index in the above array, sorry.

Hm, this is what bothers me. How client drivers will know cable name if
every provider start using its own naming scheme?
If I write client driver I will use:
extcon_register_interest(obj, name, extcon_cable_name[EXTCON_USB_HOST], nb);
and this will now work with this driver because it define string differently.
... Well, I see that string is changed because your recommendation :-),
then lets fix extcon_cable_name strings and not let drivers define its own
names.

Sound like a good plan :-)
