Perhaps change the property name to max8998,charge-restart-threshold, 
in include/linux/mfd/max8998.h we have:

 * @restart: Restart Level in mV: 100, 150, 200, and -1 for disable.
 *   If it equals 0, leave it unchanged.

Then we could make it an optional property:

 - max8998,charge-restart-threshold: Charge restart threshold in millivolts. 
   Valid values are: 0, 100, 150, 200. If the value equals 0 the charger 
   restart will be disabled.

If the property is missing the charger restart threshold configuration would
be left unchanged.

The charge timeout is in hours, as described in include/linux/mfd/max8998.h:


"* @timeout: Full Timeout in hours: 5, 6, 7, and -1 for disable.
 *   If it equals 0, leave it unchanged.
 *   Otherwise, leave it unchanged."

We could change description of the property to something along the lines of:

Optional properties:

  - max8998,charge-timeout: Charge timeout in hours. Valid values are:
    0, 5, 6, 7. If the value is 0 the charge timer will be disabled.

Then if the property is missing the driver will leave charge timer configuration
unchanged.
