Charger Manager

Charger Manager provides in-kernel battery charger management that
|
|
requires temperature monitoring during suspend-to-RAM state
|
|
and where each battery may have multiple chargers attached and the userland
|
|
wants to look at the aggregated information of the multiple chargers.
|
|
|
|
Charger Manager is a platform_driver with power-supply-class entries.
|
|
An instance of Charger Manager (a platform-device created with Charger-Manager)
|
|
represents an independent battery with chargers. If there are multiple
|
|
batteries with their own chargers acting independently in a system,
|
|
the system may need multiple instances of Charger Manager.
|
|
|
|
1. Introduction
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Charger Manager supports the following:
|
|
|
|
* Support for multiple chargers (e.g., a device with USB, AC, and solar panels)
|
|
A system may have multiple chargers (or power sources) and some of
|
|
they may be activated at the same time. Each charger may have its
|
|
own power-supply-class and each power-supply-class can provide
|
|
different information about the battery status. This framework
|
|
aggregates charger-related information from multiple sources and
|
|
shows combined information as a single power-supply-class.
|
|
|
|
* Support for in suspend-to-RAM polling (with suspend_again callback)
|
|
While the battery is being charged and the system is in suspend-to-RAM,
|
|
we may need to monitor the battery health by looking at the ambient or
|
|
battery temperature. We can accomplish this by waking up the system
|
|
periodically. However, such a method wakes up devices unnecessarily for
|
|
monitoring the battery health and tasks, and user processes that are
|
|
supposed to be kept suspended. That, in turn, incurs unnecessary power
|
|
consumption and slow down charging process. Or even, such peak power
|
|
consumption can stop chargers in the middle of charging
|
|
(external power input < device power consumption), which not
|
|
only affects the charging time, but the lifespan of the battery.
|
|
|
|
Charger Manager provides a function "cm_suspend_again" that can be
|
|
used as suspend_again callback of platform_suspend_ops. If the platform
|
|
requires tasks other than cm_suspend_again, it may implement its own
|
|
suspend_again callback that calls cm_suspend_again in the middle.
|
|
Normally, the platform will need to resume and suspend some devices
|
|
that are used by Charger Manager.
|
|
|
|
* Support for premature full-battery event handling
|
|
If the battery voltage drops by "fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV" after
|
|
"fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms" from the full-battery event, the framework
|
|
restarts charging. This check is also performed while suspended by
|
|
setting wakeup time accordingly and using suspend_again.
|
|
|
|
* Support for uevent-notify
|
|
With the charger-related events, the device sends
|
|
notification to users with UEVENT.
|
|
|
|
2. Global Charger-Manager Data related with suspend_again
|
|
========================================================
|
|
In order to setup Charger Manager with suspend-again feature
|
|
(in-suspend monitoring), the user should provide charger_global_desc
|
|
with setup_charger_manager(struct charger_global_desc *).
|
|
This charger_global_desc data for in-suspend monitoring is global
|
|
as the name suggests. Thus, the user needs to provide only once even
|
|
if there are multiple batteries. If there are multiple batteries, the
|
|
multiple instances of Charger Manager share the same charger_global_desc
|
|
and it will manage in-suspend monitoring for all instances of Charger Manager.
|
|
|
|
The user needs to provide all the three entries properly in order to activate
|
|
in-suspend monitoring:
|
|
|
|
struct charger_global_desc {
|
|
|
|
char *rtc_name;
|
|
: The name of rtc (e.g., "rtc0") used to wakeup the system from
|
|
suspend for Charger Manager. The alarm interrupt (AIE) of the rtc
|
|
should be able to wake up the system from suspend. Charger Manager
|
|
saves and restores the alarm value and use the previously-defined
|
|
alarm if it is going to go off earlier than Charger Manager so that
|
|
Charger Manager does not interfere with previously-defined alarms.
|
|
|
|
bool (*rtc_only_wakeup)(void);
|
|
: This callback should let CM know whether
|
|
the wakeup-from-suspend is caused only by the alarm of "rtc" in the
|
|
same struct. If there is any other wakeup source triggered the
|
|
wakeup, it should return false. If the "rtc" is the only wakeup
|
|
reason, it should return true.
|
|
|
|
bool assume_timer_stops_in_suspend;
|
|
: if true, Charger Manager assumes that
|
|
the timer (CM uses jiffies as timer) stops during suspend. Then, CM
|
|
assumes that the suspend-duration is same as the alarm length.
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
3. How to setup suspend_again
|
|
=============================
|
|
Charger Manager provides a function "extern bool cm_suspend_again(void)".
|
|
When cm_suspend_again is called, it monitors every battery. The suspend_ops
|
|
callback of the system's platform_suspend_ops can call cm_suspend_again
|
|
function to know whether Charger Manager wants to suspend again or not.
|
|
If there are no other devices or tasks that want to use suspend_again
|
|
feature, the platform_suspend_ops may directly refer to cm_suspend_again
|
|
for its suspend_again callback.
|
|
|
|
The cm_suspend_again() returns true (meaning "I want to suspend again")
|
|
if the system was woken up by Charger Manager and the polling
|
|
(in-suspend monitoring) results in "normal".
|
|
|
|
4. Charger-Manager Data (struct charger_desc)
|
|
=============================================
|
|
For each battery charged independently from other batteries (if a series of
|
|
batteries are charged by a single charger, they are counted as one independent
|
|
battery), an instance of Charger Manager is attached to it.
|
|
|
|
struct charger_desc {
|
|
|
|
char *psy_name;
|
|
: The power-supply-class name of the battery. Default is
|
|
"battery" if psy_name is NULL. Users can access the psy entries
|
|
at "/sys/class/power_supply/[psy_name]/".
|
|
|
|
enum polling_modes polling_mode;
|
|
: CM_POLL_DISABLE: do not poll this battery.
|
|
CM_POLL_ALWAYS: always poll this battery.
|
|
CM_POLL_EXTERNAL_POWER_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if
|
|
an external power source is attached.
|
|
CM_POLL_CHARGING_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if the
|
|
battery is being charged.
|
|
|
|
unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms;
|
|
unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV;
|
|
: If both have non-zero values, Charger Manager will check the
|
|
battery voltage drop fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms after the battery is fully
|
|
charged. If the voltage drop is over fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV, Charger
|
|
Manager will try to recharge the battery by disabling and enabling
|
|
chargers. Recharge with voltage drop condition only (without delay
|
|
condition) is needed to be implemented with hardware interrupts from
|
|
fuel gauges or charger devices/chips.
|
|
|
|
unsigned int fullbatt_uV;
|
|
: If specified with a non-zero value, Charger Manager assumes
|
|
that the battery is full (capacity = 100) if the battery is not being
|
|
charged and the battery voltage is equal to or greater than
|
|
fullbatt_uV.
|
|
|
|
unsigned int polling_interval_ms;
|
|
: Required polling interval in ms. Charger Manager will poll
|
|
this battery every polling_interval_ms or more frequently.
|
|
|
|
enum data_source battery_present;
|
|
: CM_BATTERY_PRESENT: assume that the battery exists.
|
|
CM_NO_BATTERY: assume that the battery does not exists.
|
|
CM_FUEL_GAUGE: get battery presence information from fuel gauge.
|
|
CM_CHARGER_STAT: get battery presence from chargers.
|
|
|
|
char **psy_charger_stat;
|
|
: An array ending with NULL that has power-supply-class names of
|
|
chargers. Each power-supply-class should provide "PRESENT" (if
|
|
battery_present is "CM_CHARGER_STAT"), "ONLINE" (shows whether an
|
|
external power source is attached or not), and "STATUS" (shows whether
|
|
the battery is {"FULL" or not FULL} or {"FULL", "Charging",
|
|
"Discharging", "NotCharging"}).
|
|
|
|
int num_charger_regulators;
|
|
struct regulator_bulk_data *charger_regulators;
|
|
: Regulators representing the chargers in the form for
|
|
regulator framework's bulk functions.
|
|
|
|
char *psy_fuel_gauge;
|
|
: Power-supply-class name of the fuel gauge.
|
|
|
|
int (*temperature_out_of_range)(int *mC);
|
|
bool measure_battery_temp;
|
|
: This callback returns 0 if the temperature is safe for charging,
|
|
a positive number if it is too hot to charge, and a negative number
|
|
if it is too cold to charge. With the variable mC, the callback returns
|
|
the temperature in 1/1000 of centigrade.
|
|
The source of temperature can be battery or ambient one according to
|
|
the value of measure_battery_temp.
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
5. Notify Charger-Manager of charger events: cm_notify_event()
|
|
=========================================================
|
|
If there is an charger event is required to notify
|
|
Charger Manager, a charger device driver that triggers the event can call
|
|
cm_notify_event(psy, type, msg) to notify the corresponding Charger Manager.
|
|
In the function, psy is the charger driver's power_supply pointer, which is
|
|
associated with Charger-Manager. The parameter "type"
|
|
is the same as irq's type (enum cm_event_types). The event message "msg" is
|
|
optional and is effective only if the event type is "UNDESCRIBED" or "OTHERS".
|
|
|
|
6. Other Considerations
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
At the charger/battery-related events such as battery-pulled-out,
|
|
charger-pulled-out, charger-inserted, DCIN-over/under-voltage, charger-stopped,
|
|
and others critical to chargers, the system should be configured to wake up.
|
|
At least the following should wake up the system from a suspend:
|
|
a) charger-on/off b) external-power-in/out c) battery-in/out (while charging)
|
|
|
|
It is usually accomplished by configuring the PMIC as a wakeup source.
