When an extcon device driver is not using the extended features
(multistate & mutually-exclusiveness) and CONFIG_ANDROID is on, the
userspace interface is same as the Android kernel's switch class (name
and state ABI, which were read-only in Android kernel).

If an extcon device drivers uses the extended features (multistate &
mutually-exclusiveness) by adding "cable names", the state ABI will
provided information in different format. Besides, Android kernel's
switch device driver cannot provide the extended feature anyway.


Thanks.
