In the Rockchip inno usb2 phy implementation, the extcon is an
optional property that depends on your hardware design. If you have
wired up the vbus det and id lines correctly and have a simple usb
port, then you can leave this property out and the phy provides the
state to itself. If you have a complicated design, such as a usb-c
controller, or either the id or vbus det lines are broken, you'll need
to provide the extcon with a pointer to the device that is providing
this state.
The rk817 is not a valid extcon provider.
