572Description:
573		This entry shows and sets the maximum time the max77693
574		charger operates in fast-charge mode. When the timer expires
575		the device will terminate fast-charge mode (charging current
576		will drop to 0 A) and will trigger interrupt.

586Description:
587		This entry shows and sets the charging current threshold for
588		entering top-off charging mode. When charging current in fast
589		charge mode drops below this value, the charger will trigger
590		interrupt and start top-off charging mode.

628Description:
629		This entry configures the input dynamic power path management voltage of
630		bq24257-type charger devices. Once the supply drops to the configured
631		voltage, the input current limit is reduced down to prevent the further
632		drop of the supply. When the IC enters this mode, the charge current is
633		lower than the set value. See device datasheet for details.

643Description:
644		This entry allows enabling the high-impedance mode of bq24257-type
645		charger devices. If enabled, it places the charger IC into low power
646		standby mode with the switch mode controller disabled. When disabled,
647		the charger operates normally. See device datasheet for details.

657Description:
658		This entry allows enabling the sysoff mode of bq24257-type charger
659		devices. If enabled and the input is removed, the internal battery FET
660		is turned off in order to reduce the leakage from the BAT pin to less
661		than 1uA. Note that on some devices/systems this disconnects the battery
662		from the system. See device datasheet for details.
