2009-03-27ACPI: battery: add power_{now,avg} properties to power_classAlexey Starikovskiy
ACPI has smart batteries, which work in units of energy and measure rate of (dis)charge as power, thus it is not appropriate to export it as a current_now. Current_now will still be exported to allow for userland applications to match. Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy <astarikovskiy@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-01-04power_supply: Add cold to the POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH report valuesMark Brown
Some systems are able to report problems with batteries being under temperature. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> Acked-by: Anton Vorontsov <cbouatmailru@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@openedhand.com>
2008-09-01power_supply: Add function to return system-wide power stateMatthew Garrett
Certain drivers benefit from knowing whether the system is on ac or battery, for instance when determining which backlight registers to read. This adds a simple call to determine whether there's an online power supply other than any batteries.

2008-05-13power_supply: add CHARGE_COUNTER property and olpc_battery support for itAndres Salomon
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.

2008-02-02power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVELAndres Salomon
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.

2007-07-10[BATTERY] Universal power supply class (was: battery class)Anton Vorontsov
This class is result of "external power" and "battery" classes merge, as suggested by David Woodhouse. He also implemented uevent support.
