The Yoga Book supports kind of quick charging by negotiate voltage with
'current pulse protocol' supported by BQ25892 and Lenovo's wall cube.
I think that PMIC is not connected to VBUS directly. After charging
started, BQ25892 driver can ask power adapter to increase voltage
number of times upto 12V. See
https://github.com/jekhor/yogabook-linux-kernel/blob/master/drivers/power/supply/bq25890_charger.c#L918
for example.

Yes.

Yes, I use such method already in the my kernel:
https://github.com/jekhor/yogabook-linux-kernel/blob/master/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cht-wc.c#L247

Anyway, charger tweaking will be next iteration, now I want to complete
current extcon stuff/
