The case3 in your patch update two cable state about one h/w port. I don't agree. > that. As I wrote, current USB cable names are misleading. It would be > better to have "USB-VBUS" and "USB-ID". It is strange cable name. I prefer to use only 'USB' cable name. But, we could support the other method to get the state of whether USB-VBUS or USB-ID by using helper API or others.
