Split out extcon header file for consumer and provider device : The extcon has two type of extcon devices as following. - 'extcon provider deivce' adds new extcon device and detect the state/properties of external connector. Also, it notifies the state/properties to the extcon consumer device. - 'extcon consumer device' gets the change state/properties from extcon provider device. Prior to that, include/linux/extcon.h contains all exported API for both provider and consumer device driver. To clarify the meaning of header file and to remove the wrong use-case on consumer device. - include/linux/extcon-provider.h includes API for the provider device driver. - include/linux/extcon.h includes the API for the consumer device driver. 2.
