According to usb charger spec, my understanding is you can't do real charger
detection procedure *after* gadget _connection_(pullup DP), also I don't
think it's necessary to check charger type at every event from usb gadget.
Something in gadget driver you can utilize is only vbus detection, and
report diff current by diff usb state if it's a SDP.
