  The extcon_dev_allocate() and extcon_dev_free() are not used
outside of the extcon framework. Moreover, the struct extcon_dev
can't be filled outside of the framework either after allocation.
The registration part, for instance, requires a parent device to
be set and that's done in the devm_extcon_dev_allocate() wrapper.

Taking the above into account, sumply move the mentioned APIs to
the private headers.

Alternatively, the pointer to the parent device can be added to
the extcon_dev_allocate(), but since there are no users and magnitude
of the change it makes a little sense to go this way.

The role of extcon_dev_allocate is not that supporting to touch
the internal data of struct extcon_dev. Some driver needs
the removing sequence between extcon device and their used resource
like irq/opp/regulator or others.

When they need some sequence of resource freeing, it should be supported.
I think that there is no benefit to move into driver/extcon. It might
limit the various use-case of extcon_dev_allocate.
