drivers/power/pcf50633-charger.c:

/*
* We limit the charging current to be the USB current limit.
* The reason is that on pcf50633, when it enters PMU Standby mode,
* which it does when the device goes "off", the USB current limit
* reverts to the variant default.  In at least one common case, that
* default is 500mA.  By setting the charging current to be the same
* as the USB limit we set here before PMU standby, we enforce it only
* using the correct amount of current even when the USB current limit
* gets reset to the wrong thing
