Maintenance charging is the phase of keeping up the charge
after the battery has charged fully using CC/CV charging.

This can be done in many successive phases and is usually
done with a slightly lower constant voltage than CV, and
a slightly lower allowed current.

Add an array of maintenance charging points each with a
current, voltage and safety timer, and add helper functions
to use these. Migrate the AB8500 code over.

This is used in several Samsung products using the AB8500
and these batteries and their complete parameters will
be added later as full examples, but the default battery
in the AB8500 code serves as a reasonable example so far.

I wonder if this will ever be used by any other driver. Having
multiple maintanence states seems to be very specific to the
ab8500 driver stack. But the code itself looks ok and considering
this does not expose any (potentially unfixable) userspace ABI
and improves the AB8500 mess I'm fine with it.

It's actually coming from Samsung and their way of dealing
with their Li-Ion batteries. They even have further charging
states... Like starting the charge with slightly higher current
etc.

I will rebase this patch before the NTC things and send
it separately so it can be applied. It will better to first merge
the pointer passing change I iterated though, so I'll wait a
bit so we can agree to merge that.

+ *   The corresponding charge_voltage_max_uv is used as a safeguard: when we
+ *   reach this voltage the maintenance charging current is turned off. It is
+ *   turned back on if we fall below this voltage.
+ * @charge_voltage_max_uv: maintenance charging voltage that is usually a bit
+ *   lower than the constant_charge_voltage_max_uv. We can apply this settings
+ *   charge_current_max_ua until we get back up to this voltage.
+ * @safety_timer_minutes: maintenance charging safety timer, with an expiry
+ *   time in minutes. We will only use maintenance charging in this setting
+ *   for a certain amount of time, then we will first move to the next
+ *   maintenance charge current and voltage pair in respective array and wait
+ *   for the next safety timer timeout, or, if we reached the last maintencance
+ *   charging setting, disable charging until we reach
+ *   charge_restart_voltage_uv and restart ordinary CC/CV charging from there.
+ *   These timers should be chosen to align with the typical discharge curve
+ *   for the battery.
+ *
+ * When the main CC/CV charging is complete the battery can optionally be
+ * maintenance charged at the voltages from this table: a table of settings is
+ * traversed using a slightly lower current and voltage than what is used for
+ * CC/CV charging. The maintenance charging will for safety reasons not go on
+ * indefinately: we lower the current and voltage with successive maintenance
+ * settings, then disable charging completely after we reach the last one,
+ * and after that we do not restart charging until we reach
+ * charge_restart_voltage_uv (see struct power_supply_battery_info) and restart
+ * ordinary CC/CV charging from there.
+ *
+ * As an example, a Samsung EB425161LA Lithium-Ion battery is CC/CV charged
+ * at 900mA to 4340mV, then maintenance charged at 600mA and 4150mV for
+ * 60 hours, then maintenance charged at 600mA and 4100mV for 200 hours.
+ * After this the charge cycle is restarted waiting for
+ * charge_restart_voltage_uv.
+ *
+ * For most mobile electronics this type of maintenance charging is enough for
+ * the user to disconnect the device and make use of it before both maintenance
+ * charging cycles are complete.
