What does the driver do if charging is disabled? Would using 'status = 
"disabled"' be any different?

What does fast mean?

I think it is time for a common binding here. There's all sorts of 
variations on setting the charge current in bindings. Add something like 
"charge-current-microamp" in power_supply.txt and use it here. Then 
1000uA implies "fast charge".

Where's the 2nd sub device?
