Documentation of static battery characteristics that can be defined
for batteries which cannot self-identify. This information is required
by fuel-gauge and charger chips for proper handling of the battery.

+Battery Characteristics
+
+Required Properties:
+ - compatible: Must be "fixed-battery"
+
+Optional Properties:
+ - voltage-min-design-microvolt: drained battery voltage
+ - voltage-max-design-microvolt: charged battery voltage
+ - energy-full-design-microwatt-hours: battery design energy
+ - charge-full-design-microamp-hours: battery design capacity
+
+Future Properties must be named for the corresponding elements in
+enum power_supply_property, defined in include/linux/power_supply.h.
+
+Batteries must be referenced by chargers and/or fuel-gauges
+using a phandle. The phandle's property should be named
+"monitored-battery".
+
+Example:
+
+	bat: battery {
+		compatible = "fixed-battery";
+		voltage-min-design-microvolt = <3200000>;
+		voltage-max-design-microvolt = <4200000>;

How are the double from me happening? :)  Seems odds

I hope this is a common binding and not yet another battery binding.

The "fixed" part seems a bit pointless. Just "battery" would be a 
bit generic. Don't you need to know the battery chemistry typically? Or 
number of cells?

Yes, Sebastian had us add support for this in power_supply_core with

int power_supply_get_battery_info(
  struct power_supply *psy,
  struct power_suppy_battery_info *info)

Sebastian suggested fixed-battery to indicate a non-smart battery,
i.e. a pack without self-awareness besides a protection circuit.

I don't know what compatible would have for a smart battery. That
might be useful to establish now...

I'll be posting v6 shortly, with no change re compatible.
