In surprise to no one, I'm really not sure..

1A is not a bad default value if no other information at all is provided.
I'd say deferring this to DTS would be the best, so that if the programmer
knows that e.g. the batt/skin temp sensors are there, it takes an explicit
addition to allow more current
