Some RTCs can be equipped with a chargeable battery or supercap. Every RTC allowing this whose driver's implement it are charged by default. To disable this the trickle-diode-disable flag exists. If a driver did not support charging and some time later one wants to add that feature, there is currently no way to do it without breaking dt backwards compatibility. RTCs on boards without the trickle-diode-disable flag in their device tree would suddenly charge their battery/supercap which is a change in behavior. Change that by introducing aux-voltage-chargeable, not as a flag but as a uint32 enum allowing to set "do not charge" (0) or "charge" (1). This dt property is optional, so we can now distinguish these cases. Care must be taken to support the old behavior for device trees without aux-voltage-chargeable nonetheless to stay compatible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
