551Description:
552		This entry configures the input dynamic power path management voltage of
553		bq24257-type charger devices. Once the supply drops to the configured
554		voltage, the input current limit is reduced down to prevent the further
555		drop of the supply. When the IC enters this mode, the charge current is
556		lower than the set value. See device datasheet for details.

566Description:
567		This entry allows enabling the high-impedance mode of bq24257-type
568		charger devices. If enabled, it places the charger IC into low power
569		standby mode with the switch mode controller disabled. When disabled,
570		the charger operates normally. See device datasheet for details.

580Description:
581		This entry allows enabling the sysoff mode of bq24257-type charger
582		devices. If enabled and the input is removed, the internal battery FET
583		is turned off in order to reduce the leakage from the BAT pin to less
584		than 1uA. Note that on some devices/systems this disconnects the battery
585		from the system. See device datasheet for details.
