Hi Felipe,

Thanks replying.

Pretty much yes.

Nice ASCII pic :)
Yes, that's the case.

An input from Linus would fine in this case.

IMHO extcon is the correct way to broadcast it, as long as we define a
standard for the cable names. E.g. DRD library could listen to
"USB-HOST" cable state. Then it doesn't matter how ID pin is grounded,
it just matters that whoever is controlling it broadcast via this cable.

In my case we have all gpios listed in a single ACPI device. In order to
be backwards compatible with products already on market, we'd need
something like a single mfd to register platform devices for this
smaller pieces (extcon gpio, possible pintrl gpio, maybe vbus as regulator??).

It makes sense, I'll change it.

Yeah, that would be nice.

Thanks, I'll check.

dev_dgb() perhaps.

I'll fix it.
