Subject: [PATCH] power_supply: Add charge_rate_limit power supply attribute

During charging battery temperature and charger chip(die) temperature
will go up and this intern adds upto the overall platform temperature.
On mobile devices this can have huge impact on the user(user experience).

This patch adds a new power supply property charge_rate_limit which can
be used by user space app/framework(Ex: Thermal Manager) to control the
overall platform temperature by changing the charge rate property.
