From 8e552c36d90c03d2cabf5373788998966751b609 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres Salomon Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 21:46:29 -0400 Subject: power_supply: add CHARGE_COUNTER property and olpc_battery support for it 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.
