Kernel tree shows following users of "USB-Host" that will have to be changed to
"USB-HOST".

extcon-class.c:	[EXTCON_USB_HOST]	= "USB-Host",
extcon-max77693.c:	[EXTCON_CABLE_USB_HOST]			= "USB-Host",
extcon-max77693.c:		extcon_set_cable_state(info->edev, "USB-Host", attached);
extcon-max8997.c:	[EXTCON_CABLE_USB_HOST]			= "USB-Host",
extcon-max8997.c:		extcon_set_cable_state(info->edev, "USB-Host", attached);
extcon-rt8973a.c:	[EXTCON_CABLE_USB_HOST]		= "USB-Host",
extcon-sm5502.c:	[EXTCON_CABLE_USB_HOST]	= "USB-Host",

I'm not aware if any user space programs depend on this name. Do you know of any?
