Ok, even the users are interesting in current limit, we still have no
necessary to know all kinds of chargers limit and current value, since
we already have charger type user interface, the framework can show
limit according to charger type.
I think below user interfaces are enough, who do you think?
+static struct attribute *usb_charger_attrs[] = {
+ &dev_attr_current.attr,
+ &dev_attr_current_limit.attr,
+ &dev_attr_charger_type.attr,
+ &dev_attr_charger_state.attr,

+};
