What I mean is user can set the current limit by charger type as what
they want at initial stage. As we know the default current of SDP (not
super speed) is 500 mA, but user can set the current limit of SDP as
450 mA if there are some special on their own platform by issuing
'__usb_charger_set_cur_limit(charger, SDP_TYPE, 450)'.
