Commit 41d600274fbf ("extcon: int3496: process id-pin first so that we

registration to make sure we've a valid cable state directly after
registration.

But that commit moves the queuing of the work to before we even alloc the
extcon, causing a NULL pointer deref in the worker.

This commit moves the queuing of the work to after we alloc the extcon,
fixing the NULL pointer deref.

Instead, You better to send v3 after merging your patch[1] and this patch.
[1] extcon: int3496: process id-pin first so that we start with the right status

Ok, I've rebased my tree on top of 4.16-rc1 and prepared a v3. During the
rebase I noticed that a patch for the axp288-extcon driver which was supposed
to get dropped did end up in 4.16-rc1, so I will also (resend) a revert for 
that.

Also another extcon-axp288 driver patch seems to not have made it into 4.16-rc1,
so I will resend that too.

Regards,

Hans
