s/thru/through ?

"Thru" is valid English.

This chip also has the SHDN# pin which should be driven high for the normal
operation and low to save power; it is connected to a GPIO pin as well on,
hence we'll have to teach the driver to parse the new optional device tree
property, "enable-gpio"...

This patch description includes the double space between words. Also, I think

So what?

you need to write the patch description again for formal style.

Not sure I understand you.

This patch adds the specific 'enable-gpio' pin to express the SHDN#pin for MAX3355E.
I think it is not regular and standard case because maybe USB specification
don't include the SHDN#pin information.

Certainly, it's not a USB pin.

I think it not appropriate way.
Instead, you better to make the MAX3355 extcon driver to support this case.

OK, just didn't want to duplicate most of this driver there...

Thanks,
Chanwoo
