Only for the reason that there is no any usecase until now,
and remove the confusion between extcon-usb-gpio and extcon-intel-int3496.
Should we revert it? 

I think that both extcon-usb-gpio and extcon-intel-int3496
driver are not same operation perfectly. Also, the filename
of extcon-intel-int3496 has specific name. Instead, extcon-usb-gpio.c
is more common device driver.

Can the extcon-intel-int3496.c support the everything on acpi side?
