Applied, thanks,

But, There were some minor issue, so I fix and applied it.

It is not necessary to get extcon_dev instance through dev_get_drvdata()
and only call kfree(dev) by using extcon_dev_release()'s parameter.

	kfree(dev);

I prefer minimal indentation, so I will modify as below code.

	int index;

	mutex_lock(&extcon_dev_list_lock);
	list_del(&edev->entry);
	mutex_unlock(&extcon_dev_list_lock);

	if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(get_device(edev->dev))) {
		dev_err(edev->dev, "Failed to unregister extcon_dev (%s)\n",
				dev_name(edev->dev));
		return;
	}

	if (edev->mutually_exclusive && edev->max_supported) {
		for (index = 0; edev->mutually_exclusive[index];
				index++)
			kfree(edev->d_attrs_muex[index].attr.name);
		kfree(edev->d_attrs_muex);
		kfree(edev->attrs_muex);
	}

[...]
