The charger manager code needs a passive cooling device, so that's
why this is present here.

Thanks, I missed the deprecation notice in the binding file.

What would be the better way of creating a functional charging system?
A new device-specific driver?  Userspace monitoring of temperature/connected
device and extensions to the max8998 driver for enabling/disabling/configuring
charging via the power supply subsystem instead of the regulator subsystem?
Something else?

The way I understand the charging system, there is

- The fuelgauge (max17042)
- The max8998 charger portion, including the ability to vary the current
- The thermistor for checking battery temperature
- The FSA9480 to determine what sort of cable is connected

Thanks,
Jonathan
