OK, looks better.

The patch splits exisiting extcon_get_edev_by_phandle function into two
functions, nothing more.
Thus it followed naming convention present in extcon framework. I can
switch it of course to _find_.

There is no special extcon bus, so I am not sure. Anyway if it can, it
should be done probably in another patch.
