Our USB phy driver will call this API to get the charger type, which
is used to notify the corresponding current can be drawn to charger
drivers. And we will introduce users after this patch getting applied.

The charger type detection operation is not a part of charger, and its
related registers are located on the PMIC global registers area. So I
think the PMIC driver is the right place to implement. Moreover Arnd
also suggested us to implement these APIs in the PMIC driver if I
remember correctly.
