* power_supply: Add power_supply notifierPali Rohár2013-12-011-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a notifier chain to the power_supply, this helps drivers in other subsystem to listen to changes in power supply subsystem. This would help to take some actions in those drivers on changing the power supply properties. One such scenario is to increase/decrease system performance based on the battery capacity/voltage. Another scenario is to adjust the h/w peak current detection voltage/current thresholds based on battery voltage/capacity. The notifier helps drivers to listen to changes in power_suppy susbystem without polling the power_supply properties Signed-off-by: Jenny TC <jenny.tc@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali.rohar@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jenny TC <jenny.tc@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton@enomsg.org>
* power_supply: Prevent suspend until power supply events are processedZoran Markovic2013-08-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch, originally authored by Arve Hjonnevag and Todd Poynor, prevents the system from entering suspend mode until the power supply plug, unplug, or any other change of state event is fully processed. This guarantees that the screen lights up and displays the battery charging state. The implementation uses the power supply wakeup_source object.

* | power_supply: Add watchdog and safety timer expiries under PROP_HEALTH_*Ramakrishna Pallala2013-01-051-0/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As most of the charger chips come with two kinds of safety features related to timing: 1. Watchdog Timer (interms of seconds/mins) 2. Safety Timer (interms of hours) This patch adds these to fault causes in POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_HEALTH_* enums so that whenever there is either watchdog timeout or safety timer timeout driver could notify the user space accurately about the fault and will also be helpful for debug.

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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".

* device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dirPaul Gortmaker2012-03-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The <linux/device.h> 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 <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CAPACITY_LEVEL stuff defines various levels of charge; however, what is the difference between them? What differentiates between HIGH and NORMAL, LOW and CRITICAL, etc? As it appears that these are fairly arbitrary, we end up making such policy decisions in the kernel (or in hardware). This is the sort of decision that should be made in userspace, not in the kernel. If the hardware does not support _CAPACITY and it cannot be easily calculated, then perhaps the driver should register a custom CAPACITY_LEVEL attribute; however, userspace should not become accustomed to looking for such a thing, and we should certainly not encourage drivers to provide CAPACITY_LEVEL stubs. The following removes support for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL. The OLPC battery driver is the only driver making use of this, so it's removed from there as well.
