Please write a brief explanation of the HW that this binding represents.
"Extcon" is a Linux-specific term. Binding documentation should be
written in an OS-agnostic manner. Bindings should not reference
OS-specific terminology, and should be a pure description of the HW.

Those souond like two rather different things. Should they be separate
bindings, or at the least, separate sections in the document?
If this binding is meant to represent some generic hardware, the vendor
prefix probably isn't required. So, remove "ti," from the compatible values.

It'd be better to use named GPIO properties here, rather than having
multiple different kinds of GPIO in the same property. How about
"id-gpios" and "vbus-gpios" as the property names?
The semantics of each property should be specified. Are these input
GPIOs that reflect the ID and VBUS state? Do they directly represent the
signal state on the connector, or are they processed somehow? Does the
VBUS GPIO control the board's VBUS output, or is it an input? If it
controls VBUS output, it probably should be represented as a regulator
rather than a GPIO.
I think the following might work:
Required properties:
id-gpios: GPIO specifier for the connector's ID pin input. This directly
represents the value present on the ID pin at the connector.
Optional properties:
vbus-gpios: GPIO specifier for the connector's VBUS signal. This
directly represents whether VBUS being driven by the USB cable itself.
(although perhaps that isn't an optional property, but rather a required
property of the second compatible value?)
