Until now, extcon-adc-jack driver has not yet supported the dt-binding
on the latest mainline kernel. Actually, extcon-adc-jack has the similar
issue with extcon-gpio about dt-binding.

When I tried to do it[1] for extcon-gpio dt bidnings and someone
tried it[2] again, but, it was not finished. You can check the threads[1][2].

In order to support the dt-binding for extcon-adc-jack,
have to find the proper compatible name indicating the device connector
and defines the properties to get the ADC value from devicetree.
