I am not sure, but maybe you could use charger-manager, just configure
it from user-space (or add such features). Better ask power supply
maintainer. But anyway charger-manager is mostly abandoned. I don't
think anyone develops it.

Enabling charging via regulators was done only for some drivers, I think
for charger-manager. I don't think it is the recommended way now.

Everything should be controlled rather via power supply from user-space.

How postmarketos or lineageos are doing it?
