We can get the charging current from configuration.

When gadget driver call usb_gadget_vbus_draw() we can use that to pass 
the information somewhere else.

But what I'm doing now is implementing an atomic_notifier which will 
call whatever function another driver want whenever we have twl4030-usb 
irqs.

We can use that to kick the charger detection itself (on twl4030-usb) 
and you can register your notifier_block callback to enable charging as 
you wish.

Then we will have the charger detection done on the right place 
(twl4030-usb) and the charging start done on the right place 
(twl4030-bci or bq24xxx).

Thanks to Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> for suggesting 
that.
