[PATCH 1/2] power: supply: add input voltage limit property.

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra
Date: Wed Nov 21 2018 - 10:34:56 EST


We have a problem with USBPD chargers which under certain conditions
can result in system overheating if the voltage provided by the USBPD
port is too high. While the preferred means to control this would be
through devicetree or ACPI settings, this is not always possible, and
we need to have a means to set a voltage limit.

This patch exposes a new property, similar to input current limit, to
re-configure the maximum voltage from the external supply at runtime
based on system-level knowledge or user input.
