Palmas series device like TPS65913, TPS80036 supports the backup battery
for powering the RTC when no other energy source is available.

The backup battery is optional, connected to the VBACKUP pin, and can be
nonrechargeable or rechargeable. The rechargeable battery can be charged
from the system supply using the backup battery charger.

Add support for enabling charging of this backup battery.  Also add the DT
binding document and the new properties to have this support.

Changes from V1:
- Converted DT property to boolean.
- cleanups as use "...".
Changes from V2:
- Correct the property name.
Changes from V3:
- Nit cleanups: properly capatilise the palmas to make it Palmas.
- Added reviewed by of Felipe and Stephen.

I don't like the wording here as it implies that an OS *must* charge the
device, rather than that it *can* charge the device. How about:

 - ti,backup-battery-chargeable: There is a chargeable backup battery
                                 present.

This is somewhat unclear as it reads as a runtime configuration choice,
rather than some instances of the device only support being changed at
low currents (as I assume is the case?). How about:

  - ti,backup-battery-low-current: The backup battery is only chargeable
                                   at currents below 100mA.

What happens if we charge at the wrong current?

Thanks,
Mark.

The *org* property tells whether charging should be enable or not. This 
is enabled during init and it is not the runtime configuration for 
enable/disable.
By saying "backup-battery-chargeable" means it need other 
interface/calls to start charging. It does not reflect that charging 
will be enabled by default.

Hmm.. I think even if battery can be charge for more than 100mA, there 
is choice of configure it for less than 100mA.

> What happens if we charge at the wrong current?
Not much sure but I think it can create battery damage.

It doesn't mean that the OS needs to provide some interface to control
charging. It simply means that it's up to the OS as to whether it
charges it (for which Linux's choice can be to always charge the
battery). An OS may choose not implement any charging code at all...

Ok.

If we charge a battery supporting >100mA at a current <100mA, will that
cause damage? Or only if we charge above it's supported current?

If the latter's true, it might make sense to invert the condition and
describe that the battery may be charged at a higher current, with the
default being <100mA. That way a missing property in the dt will only
result in sub-optimal charging rather than battery damage.

Thanks,
Mark.

Over-current charging can only damage. Lower charging current will not 
damage, just will take more time to charge.

Ok, fine with this. In this case property will be 
"ti,backup-battery-charge-high-current".
