Are you sure it has to be manipulated? Some time I didn't dig into this.
Now I looked at the datasheet and it says that usually there is no need
for changing the charge current during the operation. Maxim recommends
to setting it to a maximum safe value for the battery. The device will
manage charge current on its own.

However I agree that the charge current should be set... maybe once, to
a maximum value appropriate for battery. Probably this should be done
by max77693_charger in max77693_dt_init().

Best regards,
Krzysztof
