OK.
But, as Stephen commented on other mail, you should use proper DT helper function.

It's not proper in general case. The generic driver must guarantee all of extcon device using gpio.
As far as I know, the generic driver cannot direclty control gpio pin and get value from gpio pin.
Almost device driver including in kernel/drivers control gpio pin on specific device driver 
instead of generic driver.

I know your intention dividing interrupt handler for each cable.
But I don't think this driver must guarantee all of extcon device using gpio.

For example,
below three SoC wish to detect USB/USB-HOST cable with each different methods.

"SoC A" wish to detect USB/USB-HOST cable through only one gpio pin.
"SoC B" wish to detect USB/USB-HOST cable through ADC value instead of gpio pin.
"SoC C" wish to detect USB/USB-HOST cable through two gpio pin because USB connected on gpio an USB-HOST connected on another.

In addition,
if "SoC A/C" wish to write some data to own specific registers for proper opeating,
Could we write some data to register on generic driver?

Finally,
"SoC D" wish to detect USB/USB-HOST/JIG cable through two gpio pin
- one gpio may detect either USB or USB-HOST and another may detect JIG cable
or one gpio may detect either USb or JIG and another may detect USB-HOST cable.

That way, there are many cases we cannot guarantee all of extcon devices.

I think this driver could support dra7x series SoC but as I mentioned,
this driver may not guarantee all of cases.

I commented above about your modification.

The setting order should be removed in generic driver.
