Currently the Linux kernel does not provide any standard integration of this
feature that integrates the USB subsystem with the system power regulation
provided by PMICs meaning that either vendors must add this in their kernels
or USB gadget devices based on Linux (such as mobile phones) may not behave
as they should. Thus provide a standard framework for doing this in kernel.

Now introduce one user with wm831x_power to support and test the usb charger,
which is pending testing. Moreover there may be other potential users will use
it in future.

Changes since v8:
 - Remove the bus type things.
 - Introduce one charger_detect() callback to detect charger type if it is 
needed.
 - Add some sysfs attributes for showing the charger type and state.
 - Change the charger current attributes to read only.
 - Move charger state and type definition to include/uapi.
 - Some other optimiazations.
