Sorry. "extcon device" may be the wrong name I'm using.

As far as I know, type-c controller supports PD detection, role detection, role swap and cc configuration.
But in our SoC, type c module only supports role detection.
So I don't think it's a type-c controller.

I found a similar driver at
drivers/extcon/extcon-usbc-cros-ec.c
It belongs to External Connector, which can detect USB Type C cables.

So our driver is an external connector driver.

I refer to this binding, and it is in folder bindings/extcon.
