Not at all, I didn't see anything I didn't like worse than the disproved
"charger disable depowers whole device" thing.  Nice work examining it all.

|   Observations:
|   - the USB-SYS path works as documented
|   - the charger does not need to be enabled for USB-SYS to work
|   - system runs from battery alone, USB alone, and both combined

Good this is what I experienced too, and its compatible with --->

|   - if there is no battery and we try to enable the charger, the
|     system turns off instantly (!!!)

... because back in the day when I was running fine with no battery, I
am not sure charging in U-Boot was straightened out.

| We also draw more than 100mA even before reaching the wait_for_power
| loop (and there, blinking the LED makes things even worse, but this
| is expected). So we need to save a bit of power in the early system
| bringup.

We could crank up the clock later I suppose, keeping the backlight, LCM
and Glamo all down if they're up at this time.  The Glamo has 80MHz PLL
and its own DRAM so I don't think it's that cheap to run.  The other
assets on the device are meant to be down by default already AFAIK.

| There's also the mystery result that enabling the charger while running
| only from battery reduces battery current. That must be some of that
| Dark Energy everybody's talking about.

This doesn't violate any laws of physics, the universe has taken care
that you cannot actually charge a battery with it since it only comes
when you disable the charger ;-)
