As I mentioned on other mail to Rob, the purpose of this patch
removes the deprecated the EXTCON APIs. So, I touched the DT binding.

About DT ABI about charger-manager, we should handle it on separate patches.

Also I think the defines should be in

I agree to use some definition for the kind of charger cable.
But, Not yet. I'm preparing the EXTCON update to use the definitions
on Device Tree file. I'll send some separate patches in the near future.
