[PATCH] extcon : callback function to read cable property

[Jenny TC]

For some cables a boolean variable will not be enough to represent
the state and properties of the cable. For example a charger cable can
have states CONNECT,DISCOONECT,SUSPEND(Host suspend for SDP cable),
RESUME(Host wakeup), and UPDATE (to increase the charge
current after USB enumaeration).Also the properties of the cable may
vary based on the state. FOr example in SUSPENDED state platforms can
support 0/100/500/950(USB 3.0) mA based on the HW. To initiate charging
the consumer should be able to get the charger properties dynamically.
