In below change of usb_gadget_vbus_draw(), already can get charger type
via usb_charger_get_type().

static inline int usb_gadget_vbus_draw(struct usb_gadget *gadget, unsigned mA)
 {
+       enum usb_charger_type type;
+
+       if (gadget->charger) {
+               type = usb_charger_get_type(gadget->charger);
+               usb_charger_set_cur_limit_by_type(gadget->charger, type, mA);
+       }
+
        if (!gadget->ops->vbus_draw)
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;
        return gadget->ops->vbus_draw(gadget, mA);

Could you detail in what situation gadget->ops-> get_charger_type() is used?

What other information you refer to here? Or what I am not aware of?

Thanks.
