* power: move power supply drivers to power/supplySebastian Reichel2016-08-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | This moves all power supply drivers from drivers/power/ to drivers/power/supply/. The intention is a cleaner source tree, since drivers/power/ also contains frameworks unrelated to power supply, like adaptive voltage scaling. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Reichel <sre@kernel.org>
* power_supply: Add boot and calibration attributesRamakrishna Pallala2014-09-061-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usually PMIC's come with coulomb counting mechanism which can be used to implement a Fuel Gauginig solution in Software itself. One of key input to these SW Fuel Gauge solutioons is the boot up parameters like boot voltage and boot current. This patch adds the VOLTAGE_BOOT and CURRENT_BOOT power supply attributes to report bootup voltage and current. This patch also adds CALIBRATE power supply attribute which useful is for calibrating the battery/coulomb counter.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new power supply properties for input current, charge termination current, min and max temperature POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP_MIN - minimum operatable temperature POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP_MAX - maximum operatable temperature POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_INPUT_CURRENT_LIMIT - input current limit programmed by charger. Indicates the input current for a charging source. POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CHARGE_TERM_CURRENT - Charge termination current used to detect the end of charge condition Signed-off-by: Jenny TC <jenny.tc@intel.com> Acked-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Sebastian Reichel <sre@kernel.org>
* power_supply: Fix documentation for TEMP_*ALERT* propertiesAnton Vorontsov2013-10-281-4/+4

* power_supply: Add support for CHARGE_CONTROL_* attributesRamakrishna Pallala2012-11-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Add support for power supply attributes CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT and CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT_MAX. These new attributes will enable the user space to implement custom charging algorithms based on platform state.

* power_supply: Add new power supply properties CHARGE_CURRENT/VOLTAGE_MAXRamakrishna Pallala2012-08-221-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are different types of chargers avalibale like AC, Solar, USB, etc.. Even in USB we have different types SDP/DCP/CDP/ACA and all these chargers have different o/p ratings. For example SDP supports only 500mA of charge current whereas AC charger can support upto 8A or more. Similarly batteries also come with charge current and voltage ratings and these ratings vary depending on its capacity and the technology used. This patch adds two new power supply properties CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX and CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX.

* power_supply: Add new power supply AUTHENTIC propertyRamakrishna Pallala2012-08-221-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that users can use non-standard chargers or use invalid batteries especially with mobile devices. This patch adds a new power supply property called 'AUTHENTIC' to indicate this to the user(user space).

* power_supply: Add min/max alert properties for CAPACITY, TEMP, TEMP_AMBIENTRamakrishna Pallala2012-07-131-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Minimum and maximum alerts on power supply properties will help or allow the user space to "proactively" create policies like connect/disconnect charger or stop/start the user apps based on capacity or temperature parameters. These parameters can be used to avoid unnecessary polling from user space and even from kernel space if the underlying HW can support INT triggers (ex: max17042/47). This patch adds the following power supply alert type properties: CAPACITY_ALERT_MIN CAPACITY_ALERT_MAX TEMP_ALERT_MIN TEMP_ALERT_MAX TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MIN TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MAX Signed-off-by: Ramakrishna Pallala <ramakrishna.pallala@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org>
* power_supply: Add constant charge_current and charge_voltage propertiesRamakrishna Pallala2012-06-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Constant Charge Current(CC) is charging parameter which limit the maximum current which can be pumped into the battery during charge cycle. Constant Charge Voltage(CV) is also charging parameter which limit the maximum voltage that battery can reach during charge cycle. It is very common practice that at low or high temperatures we do not charge the batteries upto it's fullest charge voltage to avoid battery and user safety issues. These sysfs properties will be useful for debug and to implement certain user space policies like "Charging limited due to OverTemp".

* power_supply: Add voltage_ocv property and use it for max17042 driverRamakrishna Pallala2012-05-041-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new sysfs file called 'voltage_ocv' which gives the Open Circuit Voltage of the battery. This property can be used for platform shutdown policies and can be useful for initial capacity estimations. Note: This patch is generated against linux-next branch.

* power_supply: Add a charge_type property, and use it for olpc driverAndres Salomon2009-07-021-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new sysfs file called 'charge_type' which displays the type of charging (unknown, n/a, trickle charge, or fast charging). This allows things like battery diagnostics to determine what the battery/EC is doing without resorting to changing the 'status' sysfs output.

* Revert "power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL"Andres Salomon2009-07-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 8efe444038a205e79b38b7ad03878824901849a8 and 4cbc76eadf56399cd11fb736b33c53aec9caab8c. Richard@laptop.org was apparently using CAPACITY_LEVEL for debugging battery/EC problems, and was upset that it was removed. This readds it.

* power_supply: add CHARGE_COUNTER property and olpc_battery support for itAndres Salomon2008-05-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds PROP_CHARGE_COUNTER to the power supply class (documenting it as well). The OLPC battery driver uses this for spitting out its ACR values (in uAh). We have some rounding errors (the data sheet claims 416.7, the math actually works out to 416.666667, so we're forced to choose between overflows or precision loss. I chose precision loss, and stuck w/ data sheet values), but I don't think anyone will care that much.
