Zoran Markovic 948dcf9662 power_supply: Prevent suspend until power supply events are processed
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.

This patch adds support for supplies to register a list of char *'s which
represent the list of supplies which supply them. This is the opposite as
the supplied_to list.

This change maintains support for supplied_to until all drivers which make
use of it already are converted.

Linus Torvalds 06991c28f3 Driver core patches for 3.9-rc1
Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1
 
 There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers all
 over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
   - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
     able to check return values.
   - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
 
 If you need me to provide a merged tree to handle these resolutions,
 please let me know.
 
 Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
 updates.

Michał Mirosław 9f3b795a62 driver-core: constify data for class_find_device()
All in-kernel users of class_find_device() don't really need mutable
data for match callback.

In two places (kernel/power/suspend_test.c, drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c)
this patch changes match callbacks to use const search data.

The const is propagated to rtc_class_open() and power_supply_get_by_name()
parameters.

Note that there's a dev reference leak in suspend_test.c that's not
touched in this patch.

Ramakrishna Pallala a05be99174 power_supply: Add watchdog and safety timer expiries under PROP_HEALTH_*
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.

Ramakrishna Pallala 2815b786c3 power_supply: Add new power supply properties CHARGE_CURRENT/VOLTAGE_MAX
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.

These parameters can be used to avoid unnecessary polling from user space

(ex: max17042/47).

Ramakrishna Pallala 3824c47714 power_supply: Add constant charge_current and charge_voltage properties
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".

Paul Gortmaker 313162d0b8 device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir
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/*

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 25a0bc2dfc power_supply: add SCOPE attribute to power supplies
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.

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.

Anton Vorontsov 4a11b59d82 [BATTERY] Universal power supply class (was: battery class)
This class is result of "external power" and "battery" classes merge,
as suggested by David Woodhouse. He also implemented uevent support.

Here how userspace seeing it now:

    	# ls /sys/class/power\ supply/
    	ac  main-battery  usb

    	# cat /sys/class/power\ supply/ac/type
    	AC

    	# cat /sys/class/power\ supply/usb/type
    	USB

    	# cat /sys/class/power\ supply/main-battery/type
    	Battery

    	# cat /sys/class/power\ supply/ac/online
    	1

    	# cat /sys/class/power\ supply/usb/online
    	0

    	# cat /sys/class/power\ supply/main-battery/status
    	Charging

    	# cat /sys/class/leds/h5400\:red-left/trigger
    	none h5400-radio timer hwtimer ac-online usb-online
    	main-battery-charging-or-full [main-battery-charging]
    	main-battery-full
