4.35V is known to make lifetime of battery shorter, but it provides
10% more capacity.

Disadvantage of this approach is that if droid is rebooted between
mainline and android, battery will go 4.35V->4.2V->4.35V... while on
charger.

I guess this patch still makes sense, I just wanted to make sure
disadvantages are mentioned.
