I agree the at least current value(mA) for EXTCON_CHG_USB_SLOW/FAST.
But, I'm worried that  fix the 5V.

I have a plan to support the 'current' and 'voltage' property for
charger connector as following:
- EXTCON_PROP_CHG_CURRNET
- EXTCON_PROP_CHG_VOLTAGE

So, I don't like to fix the voltage for EXTCON_CHG_USB_SLOW/FAST.
How about this?
