Right, the charging bit can simply be always on, if the OTG boost
converter is enabled then the charger it will automatically stop
charging (AFAIK it is partly re-using the same hw even).

I've no idea why the charging bit is being cleared by the BIOS, there
really is no need for this, with the exception of either:

1. Using an external Vbus boost converter, because that can e.g.
deliver more current, then charging does need to be disabled.

2. Disabling charging for battery health reasons

1. is not the case here; and 2. is something which we could export
as something userspace can request but that is optional.

So for normal use there really is no reason to set the charging
bit to 0 ever (and it is 1 on reset), so just setting it to 1
makes the behavior the same as on many ARM devices where this
charger is also used and the same as how similar chargers
like the bq2419x and bq2429x are used on other X86 devices.

Hans
