Charging Neo Freerunner via USB port

[Steven Milburn]

Good news, you're likely wrong :)

Don't project the current draw when on the charger to when on the battery.

It's very normal for the charger portion of a PMIC to be extremely
in-efficient.  I typically see less than 50% efficiency on chargers.  The
power system will be optimized for running off the battery, but charger
power is usually seen as a free an infinite resource for the phone. It's not
worth the cost and area to optimize the power usage from the charger, so
it's almost never done.
