In some cases a driver may want to monitor multiple cables on a single
extcon. For example a charger driver will typically want to monitor all
of EXTCON_CHG_USB_SDP, EXTCON_CHG_USB_CDP, EXTCON_CHG_USB_DCP to configure
the max. current it can sink while charging.

Due to the signature of the notifier_call function + how extcon passes
state and the extcon_dev as parameters this requires using one
notifier_block + one notifier_call function per cable, otherwise the
notifier_call function cannot get to its driver's data (using container_of
requires it to know which notifier block its first parameter is).

For a driver wanting to monitor the above 3 cables that would result
in something like this:

static const unsigned int vbus_cable_ids[] = {
        EXTCON_CHG_USB_SDP, EXTCON_CHG_USB_CDP, EXTCON_CHG_USB_DCP };

struct driver_data {
        struct notifier_block vbus_nb[ARRAY_SIZE(vbus_cable_ids)];
}

/*
 * We need 3 copies of this, because there is no way to find out for which
 * cable id we are being called from the passed in arguments; and we must
 * have a separate nb for each extcon_register_notifier call.
 */
static int vbus_cable0_evt(struct notifier_block *nb, unsigned long e, void *p)
{
        struct driver_data *data =
                container_of(nb, struct driver_data, vbus_nb[0]);
        ...
}

static int vbus_cable1_evt(struct notifier_block *nb, unsigned long e, void *p)
{
        struct driver_data *data =
                container_of(nb, struct driver_data, vbus_nb[1]);
        ...
}

static int vbus_cable2_evt(struct notifier_block *nb, unsigned long e, void *p)
{
        struct driver_data *data =
                container_of(nb, struct driver_data, vbus_nb[2]);
        ...
}

int probe(...)
{
        /* Register for vbus notification */
        data->vbus_nb[0].notifier_call = vbus_cable0_evt;
        data->vbus_nb[1].notifier_call = vbus_cable1_evt;
        data->vbus_nb[2].notifier_call = vbus_cable2_evt;
        for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(vbus_cable_ids); i++) {
                ret = devm_extcon_register_notifier(dev, data->vbus_extcon,
                                        vbus_cable_ids[i], &data->vbus_nb[i]);
                if (ret)
                        ...
        }
}

And then in the event handling the driver often checks the state of
all cables explicitly using extcon_get_state, rather then using the
event argument to the notifier_call.

This commit makes extcon_[un]register_notifier accept -1 as cable-id,
which will cause the notifier to get called for changes on any cable
on the extcon_dev. Compared to the above example code this allows much
simpler code in drivers which want to monitor multiple cable types.
