I dont have much issue on this nomenclature but just second thought:

The Palmas USB module is capable of detection VBUS, ID-GND, ID-RA, 
ID-RB, ID-RC and ID-FLOAT as per BC1.2.
This sub-module only detect the cable, does nothing more than this.
In this case, should we say "ti,palmas-usb-extcon"?
Again extcon is linux specific terminology and this can be defer.
