Motorola Droid 4 -- Stopping charger when battery is full

Hi!

I complained that "battery life is very poor" with leste. It seems to
be combination of several factors.

1) I was using very old battery

2) My charger is detected as "USB", not as "AC"

3) Charger was cycling on/off, which was annoying and I often ending
up dissconnecting the charger

4) It probably has a bit higher power consuption than original android

5) Android is more aggressive, charges to 4.35V, and allows deeper
discharge

According to my measurements "CPCAP_REG_CRM_FET_OVRD |
CPCAP_REG_CRM_FET_CTRL" results in battery discharding and 0A drawn
frmo the USB.  "CPCAP_REG_CRM_FET_OVRD" is phone powered from USB,
with battery more or less disconnected (<12mA), which is what we want
in battery full situation.

Second problem was that phone never really stayed in "battery full",
immediately exiting it.

This should solve both issues (plus it enables a lot of
debugging).

Best regards,
								Pavel
