+	tristate "External Connector Class (extcon) support"
+	help
+	  Say Y here to enable external connector class (extcon) support.
+	  This allows monitoring external connectors by userspace
+	  via sysfs and uevent and supports external connectors with
+	  multiple states; i.e., an extcon that may have multiple
+	  cables attached. For example, an external connector of a device
+	  may be used to connect an HDMI cable and a AC adaptor, and to
+	  host USB ports. Many of 30-pin connectors including PDMI are
+	  also good examples.
