 USB GPIO Extcon device
 
-This is a virtual device used to generate USB cable states from the USB ID pin
-connected to a GPIO pin.
+This is a virtual device used to generate USB cable states from the USB
+ID and VBUS signals connected to GPIO pins.
+
+The extcon cable states USB and USB_HOST are actually VBUS and !ID
+pin states and do not indicate what mode the USB needs to operate in.
+That decision is done by the USB stack.
+
+Some devices have only one of these GPIO pins, so we support cases when
+only one of them is present. Hence properties 'id-gpio' and 'vbus-gpio'
+are described as optional, but at least one of them has to be present
+in extcon-usb-gpio node.
+
+In general we have three cases:
+1. If VBUS and ID gpios are present we pass them as is
+	USB-HOST = !ID, USB = VBUS
+2. If only VBUS gpio is present we assume that ID pin is always High.
+	USB-HOST = false, USB = VBUS.
+3. If only ID pin is available we infer the VBUS pin states based on ID.
+	USB-HOST = !ID, USB = ID
 
 Required properties:
 - compatible: Should be "linux,extcon-usb-gpio"
+
+Optional properties
 - id-gpio: gpio for USB ID pin. See gpio binding.
+- vbus-gpio: gpio for USB VBUS pin. See gpio binding.
+- debounce: gpio debounce time in milliseconds (u32).
+
 
 Example: Examples of extcon-usb-gpio node in dra7-evm.dts as listed below:
 	extcon_usb1 {
 		compatible = "linux,extcon-usb-gpio";
 		id-gpio = <&gpio6 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+		vbus-gpio = <&gpio6 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+		debounce = <25>;
 	}
