dt-bindings: battery: Clarify trickle-charge
The term 'trickle-charging' is used to describe a very slow charging phase, where electrons "trickle-in" the battery. There are two different use-cases for this type of charging. At least some Li-Ion batteries can benefit from very slow, constant current, pre-pre phase 'trickle-charging', if a battery is very empty. Some other batteries use top-off phase 'trickle-charging', which is different from the above case. The battery bindings use the term 'trickle-charge' without specifying which of the use-cases properties are addressing. This has already caused some confusion. Clarify that the 'trickle-charge-current-microamp' refers to the first one, the "pre-pre" -charging use-case. Suggested-by:Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@linaro.org> Signed-off-by:
