First of all, please format the subject line like other commits to the
same file. So that would be:

power: supply: axp20x_battery: <change>

This is probably not the right way to do it.

The sysfs ABI docs say that some chargers implement a writable "status" sysfs
property to allow disabling the charger [1]. IMO this is the proper place to
enable/disable the charger. POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT only
refers to the "constant current" portion of the charge cycle, and should not
be used to implement full control of the charger.
