Well this is a kernel internal thing, specifying a supplier through devicetree
should already be documented, this tells a driver to set its input-current-limit
based on the max-current of its supplier.

So we could documented it, but I think it should probably be prefixed with
"linux," then.

Anyways first lets see what Sebastian thinks of this approach if he nacks
it we don't have to worry about documenting it either :)
