[PATCH 2/2] extcon: Fix extcon_cable_get_state() from getting old state after notification

From: Roger Quadros
Date: Mon Jul 06 2015 - 10:47:38 EST


Currently the extcon code notifiers the interested listeners
before it updates the extcon state with the new state.
This will cause the listeners that use extcon_cable_get_state()
to get the stale state and loose the new state.

Fix this by first changing the extcon state variable and then
notifying listeners.
