On some devices like TIs BQ24081 battery charger it is possible to activate
or deactivate a fast-charge timer that provides a backup safety for charge
termination via GPIO. In case of the BQ24081 it is a fixed 7-hour timer.

With the time being charger specific, this is not a good solution
for the generic gpio-charger compatible. You should add a compatible
for the BQ24081 (using gpio-charger as fallback) and then only allow
'fast-charge-timer-gpios' for the BQ24081.
