The only misdetection which can happen at boot due to data-lines mux issues
is detecting a non SDP as SDP, so we only need to retry if we detect a SDP
on our first detection.

Note Vbus misdetection is not a problem, as soon as the drivers controlling
the Vbus path set it correctly we will get an interrupt which reschedules
the charger-detection.

Also update the comment about the re-detection to reflect this.

I understand why you add the second delayed_work because of dependency
of other consumer driver. But, this patch is not proper method. It looks
like the workaround.

We need to consider the fundamental solution such as using OF graph
or sending the pending notification when consumer driver is probed.

I agree that having some sort of proper probe ordering here would be
better. But on these ACPI systems that is going to be quite tricky todo,
since we've no control over the firmware there.

Note that you've already merged the workaround, this patch merely changes
the workaround to avoid it in cases where it is not necessary, so I would
really like to see this get merged.

I merged your patch because I knew this issue related to dependency.

But, I don't want to merge this patch until developing the fundamental
method. All extcon provider driver have the same issue. I'll try to
resolve this issue thro extcon framework.

I really don't see how holding this very simple patch hostage is going to
help (or deter) finding a better solution for this.

In the mean time my original patch seems to cause mis-detection of CDP ports
as SDP ports which this fixes.
