Well, it's a good point, but currently we pull more than 100mA just
waking up from the USB-no-battery case in order to make a negotiation
for > 100mA... er...

Later thismorning I will try to remove the default 1A, I put it in
because the solution was explained to me in those specific terms and I
confirmed first it made the "death with no battery" behaviour go away.
But if we do the second part of the action, "charger" detect quickly,
maybe it is not needed, since it didn't kill us until some time after
boot started.

Hum well shortly afterwards in the boot process we correct it to the
level appropriate for the "charger" installed.  Is there a better
sequence of events?  Maybe we can perform more of a staged wakeup with
this limit in mind, but I don't think we have time to do it right now.

FWIW it does not trip the current limit on this laptop (as host) with or
without a battery, although that is probably not an exhaustive test :-)

Well then if I understood it we can't work with such things with the LCM
on... can we?  If these guys are jealous enough of their power they will
for sure have current limits enforced by a high-side switch on the host
side.
