This came forth by a question from me to Dragan about a patch for
another board which doesn't have a charger defined at all (yet).
I actually have that patch (but not the HW) for a while (~1.5 year)
now and I had used `rk817_charger: charger` for that, probably because
I saw that being used everywhere else.

Then I compared it to the PineTab2 and noticed it had only `charger`, so
I asked "What should I use? With or without the alias?"
In this case the inconsistency is causing confusion (with me).

So: What should be used for that other/new board(s)?

Cheers,
  Diederik
