Currently, the HID battery reporting subsystem only supports one battery per device. There are several devices with multiple batteries that would benefit from this support: - Gaming headsets with batteries in both the headset and charging dock - Wireless earbuds with per-earbud batteries plus charging case - Split keyboards with per-side batteries ## Proposed Solution This series introduces struct hid_battery to encapsulate individual battery state, replaces the old battery fields with a list-based approach, and adds support for multiple batteries tracked within struct hid_device. Batteries are identified by report ID. The implementation is fully backwards compatible with single-battery devices through a helper function. ## Testing Tested with split keyboard hardware (Dactyl 5x6) using custom ZMK firmware that implements per-side HID battery reporting. Each battery (left and right keyboard halves) reports independently through the power supply interface with distinct report IDs (0x05 and 0x06). Test firmware available on my personal fork at: https://github.com/zampierilucas/zmk/tree/feat/individual-hid-battery-reporting If this series gets merged, these changes will be proposed to upstream ZMK.

This can be used to verify UPower compatibility. ## Future Work: Userspace Integration As suggested by Bastien, semantic battery differentiation (e.g., "left earbud" vs "right earbud") requires userspace coordination, as HID reports typically lack role metadata. This will require: 1. systemd/hwdb entries for device-specific battery role mappings 2. UPower updates to enumerate and group multi-battery devices 3. Desktop environment changes to display batteries with meaningful labels This kernel infrastructure is a prerequisite for that userspace work. Lucas Zampieri (1): HID: input: Add support for multiple batteries per device Signed-off-by: Lucas Zampieri Changes in v4: - Added missing hidinput_update_battery() stub in #else block for CONFIG_HID_BATTERY_STRENGTH=n builds - Reported-by: kernel test robot - Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202511201624.yUv4VtBv-lkp@intel.com/ Changes in v3: - Squashed the three v2 patches into a single patch as suggested by Benjamin - Removed all legacy dev->battery_* fields, using list-based storage only - Changed battery naming to include report ID: hid-{uniq}-battery-{report_id} - Converted battery memory management to devm_* for automatic cleanup - Updated hidinput_update_battery() to take struct hid_battery directly - Added hid_get_first_battery() helper for external driver compatibility - Updated hid-apple.c and hid-magicmouse.c to use new battery API - Simplified cover letter based on feedback Changes in v2: - Split the monolithic v1 patch into three logical patches for easier review: 1. Introduce struct hid_battery (pure structure addition) 2. Refactor existing code to use the new structure (internal changes) 3. Add multi-battery support (new functionality) - Added detailed testing section with hardware specifics - Added hid-recorder output (dactyl-hid-recording.txt) demonstrating two-battery HID descriptor for UPower validation - Added "Future Work: Userspace Integration" section addressing Bastien's feedback about semantic battery differentiation - Added hardware examples with product links to commit messages (per Bastien's suggestion) - No functional changes from v1, only improved patch organization and documentation drivers/hid/hid-apple.c | 10 +- drivers/hid/hid-core.c | 4 + drivers/hid/hid-input-test.c | 39 ++++--- drivers/hid/hid-input.c | 196 +++++++++++++++++++---------------- drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.c | 10 +- include/linux/hid.h | 54 +++++++--- 6 files changed, 187 insertions(+), 126 deletions(-) base-commit: 0678f5630429a5049d7663703b897e1bf8d13cd1 -- 2.51.0
