Additionally,I have a question.
As I mentioned, extcon-arizon driver don't get pdata from dt parsing.
I think extcon-arizona haven't operated without pdata.

Did you only build test for extcon-arizona?

I'd like you to implement parse function for extcon-arizona
to solve this issue(NULL pointer error).

Thanks
