I have several minor comments, but overall looks OK to me.

IMO the other syntax is more readable:

          depends on EXTCON if EXTCON

See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/kconfig-language.html

Moving i2c_error is unrelated, and apparently unneeded unless I'm missing
something.

Can fit on a single line.

"self" is not a very descriptive name. What about "nb", being a notifier
block?

Single line here too.

Can fit in a line.

You can drop the curly braces, and perhaps the dev_err_probe() can fit in a
100-chars line.

Use dev_err_probe(), and so remove the {}.

I guess you can use devm_extcon_register_notifier() to simplify a bit the
code.
