These sound like user configuration which should be controlled with 
sysfs rather than DT?

Don't you need a gpio line defined to control this?

Minimally, all these need vendor prefixes and unit suffixes. See 
property-units.txt. However, ...

These also seem like common properties. Frankly, all the charger 
bindings are a mess. They are all done differently. There's common 
things like max charge current that are all described in different ways. 
I think minimally a couple of things need to be defined for a common 
structure.

A separate node for batteries with properties of the battery like charge 
current/voltage parameters, temperature params, type of battery, etc.

A sub node of the charger for each supply source like USB, wall, etc. 
and any parameters for those sources like current limits.
