(uamp < 7500) will be mapped to 5000 uA (0x1) so it will be OK. It is
safer to use lower current. The register description looks like:
0000 - 7.5 mA
0001 -  5 mA
0010 - 10 mA
0011 - 15 mA
...
1010 - 50 mA
1011 - 60 mA
1111 - 100 mA

However for value between <7501, 9999> this function will return 0x1
(5000 uA) which is not perfect. Better is to return 0x0 (7500 uA).
I'll fix this in next version of patch.

It is on charger (input). Anyway only these 4 values are supported (6.0,
6.5, 7.0, 7.5 volts).
