dt-bindings: battery: Clarify trickle-charge
The term 'trickle-charging' is used to describe a very slow charging
phase, where electrons "trickle-in" the battery.
There are two different use-cases for this type of charging. At least
some Li-Ion batteries can benefit from very slow, constant current,
pre-pre phase 'trickle-charging', if a battery is very empty.
Some other batteries use top-off phase 'trickle-charging', which is
different from the above case.
The battery bindings use the term 'trickle-charge' without specifying
which of the use-cases properties are addressing. This has already
caused some confusion.
Clarify that the 'trickle-charge-current-microamp' refers to the first
one, the "pre-pre" -charging use-case.
