On most x86/ACPI devices there is no devicetree to supply the necessary init-data. Instead the firmware already fully initializes the bq25890 charger at boot. To support this, add support for reading back the settings from the chip through a new "linux,read-back-settings" boolean. So far this new property is only used on x86/ACPI (non devicetree) devs, IOW it is not used in actual devicetree files. The devicetree-bindings maintainers have requested properties like these to not be added to the devicetree-bindings, so the new property is deliberately not added to the existing devicetree-bindings.

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.
