From 806d9dd71ff52ef09764585baaeec23afbb98560 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: MyungJoo Ham Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:16:25 +0900 Subject: Extcon: support multiple states at a device. One switch device (e.g., MUIC(MAX8997, MAX77686, ...), and some 30-pin devices) may have multiple cables attached. For example, one 30-pin port may inhabit a USB cable, an HDMI cable, and a mic. Thus, one switch device requires multiple state bits each representing a type of cable. For such purpose, we use the 32bit state variable; thus, up to 32 different type of cables may be defined for a switch device. The list of possible cables is defined by the array of cable names in the switch_dev struct given to the class.

Changes from V3 - Bugfixes after more testing at Exynos4412 boards. Changes from V2 - State can be stored by user - Documentation updated Changes from RFC - Switch is renamed to extcon - Added kerneldoc comments - Added APIs to support "standard" cable names - Added helper APIs to support notifier block registration with cable name. - Regrouped function list in the header file.
