Commit 98898f3bc83c8 ("phy: rockchip-inno-usb2: support otg-port for
rk3399") introduces two new properties. The extcon property is used to
detect the cable-state, and the rockchip,utmi-avalid is used to indicate
which register should be used to detect the vbus state.

Document these properties in the documentation binding.

That should probably mention that this is the extcon providing the cable-state?

Not having looked to deeply into the usb2 phy, this might raise questions
on why this is a hardware-description? Is this needed when something is not
connected on the board?

I asked myself the same question and even I thought in just remove that code.

After some investigation, though, I saw that the UTMI+ specification [1] has two
signals similar to ID signal (page 11), the AValid signal is used to indicate if
the session for an A-peripheral is valid and the BValid signal that is used to
indicate if the session for a B-peripheral is valid. I suppose that use of one
or the other matters in some cases, but AFAICT this is not used and I didn't see
any binding using it.

Maybe someone else can give us more clues on the importance or not of this property?

so I've looked in mainline, chromeos-4.4 and the Rockchip vendor-kernel
and the only board using that property at all is the rk3399-evb-rev1
and -rev2 in the vendor kernel.

The existence of a further -rev3 (which also looks way better cared for
compared rev1+2) indicates that the older ones are probably some sort
of preproduction models, where some wiring (on the soc or board) may
have gone wrong.

So while I would keep all the avalid settings in the driver, we could just
drop reading that property quietly - as Rob wrote some days ago
"it's only an incompatible change if someone notices" [0] and from the
above it doesn't look like it ;-) .

extcon is not a good binding. The usb connector binding should be used 
instead for new users.

Ok, although the extcon thing is implemented in the driver, so I was trying to
just describe how is implemented now, looks like nobody is using it apart from
me (patches not upstreamed yet). I suppose switch to the usb connector binding
will imply some driver modifications. I will take a look.

Thanks,
 Enric
