Extcon: support mutually exclusive relation between cables.
There could be cables that t recannot be attaches simulatenously. Extcon device drivers may express such information via mutually_exclusive in struct extcon_dev. For example, for an extcon device with 16 cables (bits 0 to 15 are available), if mutually_exclusive = { 0x7, 0xC0, 0x81, 0 }, then, the following attachments are prohibitted. {0, 1} {0, 2} {1, 2} {6, 7} {0, 7} and every attachment set that are superset of one of the above. For the detail, please refer to linux/include/linux/extcon.h.
