power_supply: Add min/max alert properties for CAPACITY, TEMP, TEMP_AMBIENT

2012-07-14T03:41:58+00:00

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 Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov

power_supply: Add constant charge_current and charge_voltage properties

2012-06-19T23:46:58+00:00

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: Register battery as a thermal zone

2012-06-18T04:25:39+00:00

Battery and charger contribute to Thermals in most of the embedded devices. So, it makes sense to identify them as Thermal zones in a particular platform. This patch registers a thermal zone if the power supply is reporting a temperature property. The thermal zone will be used by platform's thermal management solution.

power_supply: Make the core a boolean instead of a tristate

power_supply: Add voltage_ocv property and use it for max17042 driver

2012-05-05T03:44:29+00:00

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.

device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir

2012-03-16T14:38:24+00:00

The header includes a lot of stuff, and it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device" which appears so often. Clean up the users as follows: 1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that. 2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply delete the include altogether. 3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h 4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding the required header(s). Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be present have already been dealt with in advance. Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7. As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/* Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

power_supply: Add "unknown" in power supply type

2012-01-04T05:05:51+00:00

For the default value of power supply type, "unknown" is added. With default prop value, supply type property can be displayed as default - "Unknown". Signed-off-by: Milo(Woogyom) Kim Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov

power_supply: allow a power supply to explicitly point to powered device

2011-12-09T17:52:07+00:00

If a power supply has a scope of "Device", then allow the power supply to indicate what device it actually powers. This is represented in the power supply's sysfs directory as a symlink named "powers", which points to the sysfs directory of the powered device. If the device has children, then the sub-devices are also powered by the same power supply. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Richard Hughes

power_supply: add SCOPE attribute to power supplies

2011-12-09T17:42:05+00:00

This adds a "scope" attribute to a power_supply, which indicates how much of the system it powers. It appears in sysfs as "scope" or in the uevent file as POWER_SUPPLY_SCOPE=. There are presently three possible values: Unknown - unknown power topology System - the power supply powers the whole system Device - it powers a specific device, or tree of devices A power supply which doesn't have a "scope" attribute should be assumed to have "System" scope. In general, usermode should assume that loss of all System-scoped power supplies will power off the whole system, but any single one is sufficient to power the system.
