This series adds a power supply driver for the Apple SMC found on
Apple Silicon devices. This allows the kernel to report AC status,
battery charging status, and power metrics, and modify the charging
behaviour.
The first patch adds the driver itself, and the second patch wires it
up to the MFD core.
The driver is based on an original out-of-tree implementation by
Hector Martin. It has been refactored for upstream inclusion,
including support for newer SMC firmwares, devices without batteries,
dynamic property detection and improved state management.
Tested on: Apple M3 (MacBook Air, J613)

Changes in v2:
- Added Reviewed-by: Neal Gompa <neal@gompa.dev> to all patches.
- Fixed Makefile alignment by using tabs for the macsmc-power entry.
- Upgraded physical battery exhaustion log level to EMERG.
- Downgraded software-triggered orderly poweroff log level to CRIT.
- Added check for CHIS key to skip AC registration on desktop models.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260105-b4-macsmc-power-v1-0-62954c42a555@gmail.com

This driver provides battery and AC status monitoring for Apple Silicon
Macs via the SMC (System Management Controller). It supports
reporting capacity, voltage, current, and charging status.

Using the nominal voltage here doesn't make much sense. As the
comment above mentions not having nominal voltage data for the
battery, I suppose the comment is wrong and this uses the per-cell
**maximum** voltage?

I think it's better to fix userspace and expose the value read-only.
In any case this creates an ABI and requires proper documentation in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power. My suggestion would be
to drop this for now and handle it in a separate patchset, so that
ABI discussion don't block the remaining driver.

You have a bunch of &pdev->dev further ahead, so I think it's
sensible to create 'struct dev = &pdev->dev;' and use it everywhere
in the probe function.

It seems 'power->batt_props' is not used anywhere and you can just
use 'power->batt_desc.properties' directly?

No need to assign ret; it is unused. But it becomes necessary with
a follow-up suggestion from me.

Just like 'power->batt_props': You can drop power->ac_props and use
power->ac_desc.properties directly.

You can just drop this check and instead rely on the "Final check"

You can just return ret here, if you assign -ENODEV as initial
value. In that case the correct error code will be returned in all
cases.

This must happen before registering the event handler, which in
theory might instant-trigger an event creating a race condition. You
already have the correct order in the remove handler (which also
hints about this problem :)). After reordering you can further
simplify by just using devm_work_autocancel().

There is no need to set platform_driver.driver.owner manually. It is
handled automatically, so please drop.

Drop MODULE_ALIAS and instead add a platform_device_id table with
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, <NAME>);

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for the review.

You are correct. I've checked again just to confirm the comment is
definitely incorrect, and not the code, and the key reports ~4.4V.
Updated now to reflect that it is using the per-cell maximum voltage,
I think I got my words mixed up when writing the comment.

Agreed. I have dropped the threshold properties for now to avoid ABI churn.

Fixed. I've removed the struct members and assigned directly to desc.properties.

Done. I initialised ret to -ENODEV and updated the flow to return it.

Fixed. Moved INIT_WORK to the top of probe and switched to devm_work_autocancel.
