[PATCH v7 1/9] devicetree: power: Add battery.txt

[Liam Breck]

From: Liam Breck <kernel-RYWXG+zxWwBdeoIcmNTgJF6hYfS7NtTn@public.gmane.org>

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.

Still not sure what a non-fixed-battery would be. I guess it would be a
battery with an integrated fuel-gauge pre-programmed with this design
info. So then the charger node would want to point to a fuel-gauge node,
and the fuel-gauge can optionally point to a fixed-battery if that info
is not pre-programmable.

The issues then is for chargers with an integrated fuel-gauge, or
systems without a fuel-gauge, that may get a bit messy, so I have no
issues with this current binding.

Sebastian wondered about a chain from charger thru gauge to battery,
but there are battery characteristics the gauge won't know about, e.g.
pre-charge and post-charge current, which is usually derived from
battery capacity.
