It is my mistake. I'll fix it.
	.id = EXTCON_USB, -> .id = EXTCON_USB_HOST,

On the user-space, the process don't handle the ID and VBUS information directly.
they need the identical type of attached external connector.

For exmaple,
The extcon separate the following two case:
- mobile phone is connected to desktop pc.
- mobile phone is connected to mouse/keyboard with otg cable.
