It is hardware action to detect the charger type quickly. It actually
*gets* the charger type and does not means *detect* charger type in
'usb_charger_detect_type()' function. Maybe I need to change the
function name as 'usb_charger_get_type()'.

If some udc drivers want to detect charger type in
'gadget->ops->get_charger_type()' callback, they should avoid
impacting DP/DM line state at the right gadget state. Thanks.
