Agree.

I implemented this in external charger driver by sending extcon
notifications to it.
The BQ25892 charger provides boost converter for OTG and doesn't try to charge
from its own VBUS output. But additional disabling of charging via CHGDIS pin
shouldn't break anything.

Hm. We need to detect charger type (which can be kind of ACA) and set charging
limit properly, control OTG boost converter of the charger, request
hi-voltage charging etc.
I am not sure that this is possible without of software intervention.
Mixing of software
events handling with hardware charging control will be a source of
errors and instability.
So, no, I didn't think about HW-controlled charging when Linux is
running. But this may
be subject of future investigation.

In the Lenovo Yoga Book the firmware seems to set safe input current limit
only (500 mA). Fast charging can be enabled by software and exactly value
of limits for this are known from Lenovo's sources only...
