The patch doesn't remove extcon support from chipidea driver.
I just want to not select EXTCON unconditionally, but let the users
choose. If the users need extcon, they could enable EXTCON themselves

I just searched all the dts in arch/arm/boot/dts and arch/arm64/boot/dts
only the four dts give extcon phandle to chipidea host, other users
don't make use of it:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8016-sbc.dtsi

arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-apq8074-dragonboard.dts

arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-msm8974-fairphone-fp2.dts

arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-msm8974-sony-xperia-castor.dts

Thanks
