Update extcon for 4.17
Detailed description for this pull request:
1. Add exported extcon function in order to support OF graph binding
- The extcon consumer driver used the "extcon = <&extcon's phandle"
property in device-tree in order to bind between extcon provider
and consumer driver. But, OF graph method is better than 'extcon' property.
So, extcon subsystem adds the following function to support OF graph binding.
: extcon_find_edev_by_node(struct device_node *node)
- Create the immutable branch ("ib-extcon-drm-dt-v4.17") for both drm-misc
and device-tree subsystem. This immutable branch contains the use-case of
OF graph binding for EXTCON_HDMI connector between MHL device driver
and extcon provider driver.
2. Fix minor issues of extcon device drivers
- Remove platform_data and covert to fully use GPIO descriptor for extcon-gpio.c
- Remove workaround code for id pin direction from extcon-inte-int3496.c
because GPIO ACPI library does support it with generic way.
- Set direction and drv flags for V5 boost GPIO because of fixing
the firmware bug.
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
