Currently the Linux kernel does not provide any standard integration of this feature that integrates the USB subsystem with the system power regulation provided by PMICs meaning that either vendors must add this in their kernels or USB gadget devices based on Linux (such as mobile phones) may not behave as they should. Thus provide a standard framework for doing this in kernel.
Now introduce one user with wm831x_power to support and test the usb charger, which is pending testing. Moreover there may be other potential users will use it in future. Changes since v5: - Remove the notifier chain things from the gadget and introduce one callback function to report to the usb charger when the gadget state is changed. - Flesh out the port type detection which combines the USB negotiation and PMICs detection. - Supply the notification mechanism to userspace when charger state is changed. - Integrate with the vbus staff in the gadget API. - Spilt up the functionality for userspace with one file per USB charger type.
