I am getting more and more confused :-). Why EXTCON_USB is now used for ID notifications?
It should be EXTCON_USB_HOST, no? Why we need another function, framework already have
required information from the function one line above, do I miss something?

This is bit misleading. 'nb' could not be in stack.
