Will fix it, thanks for the hint.

With properties charge-current-limit-gpios and charge-current-limit-mapping
one can define charge current limits in uA using up to 32 GPIOs. At the
moment the driver defaults to smallest current limitation for safety
reasons. When disabling charging should be possible as in the example,
the charger defaults to non-charging. By having a default the charge
current limit can be setup on probe and charging is enabled.

Will explain it in more detail.
