Just to be clear, we add ->charger_detect() when we know of a platform
which needs to manually detect the charger type. Until then, we ignore
that situation. It might be a good idea, however, do document this in
comments on your structure definition stating that if we need to detect
charger type, a new method should be added ;-)
