avr32dd20-devkit: use unimplemented "CH" pin as a boost bypass control
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
For 3V LEDs on a boost/buck dual fuel driver, this allows
routing power around the boost converter in li-ion mode,
to reduce resistance and increase maximum output.
The AA/NiMH mode is unaffected, and boosts as normal.
