It turns out that standard ChromesOS EC defines EC_CMD_CHARGE_CONTROL.
The kernel headers however only define v1 of the protocol, which is very
limited.

But in the upstream firmware repo there is a v3 which is much better.

The Framework laptop only implements v2 which is also fine.
Given that v3 was only introduced late last year, it seems better to
stick to v2 anyways for now.

So please disregard Patch 2, I'll see on how to use this via a normal
cros_ec driver.

There are some other Framework-only features that will use Patch 1,
so feedback for that would still be good.
