Justification for this patch is mostly: there is a standard interface
for this functionality and the chip has that functionality.

The bigger picture: Attach a power source with changing properties causes
mess. To repreduce issues at my desk, I have played around with a labor power
supply with changeable current limitation, turining it down to zero (so
power is off) then turning it on slowly again, no charging will happen. My
usual way around such a problem is to clear DCIN_ILIM_EN (will add a sysfs
attribute for that) and set some conservative current.
