My ammeter shows ~120mA average during Linux boot from USB, this is at
400MHz though (with backlight down).

This does matter because now we won't enable charging until we get into
Linux, if the battery is stone cold dead we really need to be able to
get as far as pcf50633 init and USB enumeration so we can come back from
the dead on GTA03 (regardless of VB_SYS situation).

Anyway it's not Qi issue for today but it is shaping up clearly as
kernel issue for "tomorrow", I wonder if it means we should examine
Cesar's cpufreq stuff carefully as it can be a big part of the answer.
