You can't do that, this will break existing users that may set the
trickle charger from their bootloader for example.

hmm...ok I understand that idea. I thought that might be a problem. I
guess keeping default as it is has a higher priority.

What do you say if setting this property to 0 (or maybe -1) disabled the
trickle charger?
So if users add:

trickle-resistor-ohms = <0>;
or
trickle-resistor-ohms = <(-1)>;

this would mean disable the trickle charger?

I know it is far from optimal, but this would solve both things:
* not braking existing implementation,
* users could disable the trickle charger.

What do you say.

Thanks for your review.

Best regards,
Andrej

Gentle ping. Would this be something you would consider?
