Yes phone trying to pull too much power was my first guess for such a
brutal reboot...
But when connected on another distro via ssh, I can force 1A charge
and the PC does not complain at all (battery current_power is then
about 780mA, plus current to run the phone...)

probably... but I have tried to remove driver... "tried" because I
cannot be sure... usually it explicitly appeared when connected...

I had this adb driver installed, and also I had before replaced it by
the "classic" neo windows driver (also not functional, but at least I
could charge my phone).
What is the exact status of my PC now I am not sure...
I will have to try on the PC of one of my collegues who have about the
same hardware :-p !
