Correct - usbdevstat allows 100mA, 500mA, 1A, and suspend (Tbl. 98, MBCC7), 
anyway...
Setting chg_curlim won't help whatsoever, as you can set it only during device 
powered up and system running, and during this time the system consumption 
USB-to-SYS will add to the chg_curlim you set. So you exceed intended USB 
current by setting chg_curlim to the value you intend for USB current, just 
to shutdown device after that and hope to reach 'correct' USB current then 
eventually - that's silly.
