I find below pdata list for extcon-arizona driver.
But, drivers/mfd/arizona-core.c don't parse dt data for below pdata list
of extcon-arizona. Did you test this patch for extcon-arizona operation?

arizona->pdata.micd_pol_gpio
arizona->pdata.micd_force_micbias	
arizona->pdata.hpdet_id_gpio
arizona->pdata.hpdet_acc_id
arizona->pdata.hpdet_acc_id_line
arizona->pdata.micd_detect_debounce
arizona->pdata.jd_gpio5
arizona->pdata.micd_timeout
arizona->pdata.num_micd_configs
arizona->pdata.micd_configs
arizona->pdata.micd_bias_start_time
arizona->pdata.micd_rate
arizona->pdata.micd_dbtime
arizona->pdata.num_micd_ranges
...

If you fix NULL pointer error about pdata,
I think only that extcon-arizona modify it as following:

diff --git a/drivers/extcon/extcon-arizona.c b/drivers/extcon/extcon-arizona.c
index e557130..3429906 100644
