Yes, but the logic is the other way around: we set the maximum current,
and what's not spent for running the system is used for charging. So
whether we charge or not should be largely irrelevant (that is, unless
the PMU does not perform according to specification).

Everybody is welcome to comment. The change is in a separate patch, so
it's trivial to back it out if there are issues. I really don't
understand from where you get that notion that checking anything into
a repository casts it in stone.

NOR u-boot will actually live a bit longer than NAND u-boot, since it's
harder to replace (by design). But yes, I hate every minute I have to
waste on u-boot.
