This patch introduces the usb charger support based on usb phy that makes an enhancement to a power driver. The basic conception of the usb charger is that, when one usb charger is added or removed by reporting from the extcon device state change, the usb charger will report to power user to set the current limitation. Power user can register a notifiee on the usb phy by issuing usb_register_notifier() to get notified by charger status changes or charger current changes. we can notify what current to be drawn to power user according to different charger type, and now we have 2 methods to get charger type. One is get charger type from extcon subsystem, which also means the charger state changes. Another is we can get the charger type from USB controller detecting or PMIC detecting, and the charger state changes should be told by issuing usb_phy_set_charger_state().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
