I think we can drop the #if and #else...#endif so it's just the
dm_regs table, as with bq27425.

I have fixed that and did take the chance to update my OpenPandora
kernel so that I also could test and make the bq27500 working.

The biggest hurdle was to find out that I have to change the
compatible string to "ti,bq27500-1" to get non-NULL dm_regs...

[   13.694885] bq27xxx_battery_seal

Does this look ok for

	bat: battery {
		compatible = "simple-battery", "openpandora-battery";
		voltage-min-design-microvolt = <3200000>;
		energy-full-design-microwatt-hours = <14800000>;
		charge-full-design-microamp-hours = <4000000>;
	};

?

I will send a patch for enabling both fuel gauges and the omap3-pandora-common.dtsi asap.

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus

Is this gauge on the board or in the battery? If in the battery,
monitored-battery should not be used.

For a gauge on the board, if a user changes the battery to a different
type, they need to update the dtb.

I assume you built with config_battery_bq27xxx_dt_updates_nvm?

The chip does not support this param, so it should be zero, as it has
to be set if charge-full-design-* is set. Can you try that?

We need to see output after a reboot. Note that this chip has NVM so
these settings persist without power.

You probably don't want this in upstream dts, as it only programs the
gauge if the kernel has the above config option. If the box runs a
stock distro, it won't work. A custom-built kernel with the above dts
programs the gauge unless the user sets the module param
dt_monitored_battery_updates_nvm=0. The requisite dtb should be
packaged with the custom-built kernel, and deployed with awareness of
the actual battery present.

Well, that is a little difficult to control, but here we have only
one standard Pandora cell. There may exist replacements with different
capacity, but that should not be our problem...

Hm. IMHO the DT should describe what the battery has and the driver should simply ignore
values it can't handle or reject them but do the best out of it. Telling the driver to ignore
a value by setting to 0 would IMHO be the wrong approach.

We are also working on the generic-adc-battery driver that makes use of the same battery DT
node so that people can choose if they want to configure a kernel for fuel gauge or
g-a-b or even both.

This was the value after first boot with the new driver enabled.

A second boot after removing and reinserting battery shows:

[   11.256713] bq27xxx_battery_setup
[   11.256744] bq27xxx_battery_setup: dm_regs=bf05b0e0

Yes I know. Up to now the bq27500 has been programmed during production test
by some special flashing tool. Now as the kernel driver has this capability,
we should make (optionally) use of it.

I mainly had some initial doubts that it did not tell something like
"update design-capacity" to 4000 or "design-capacity has 4000"

Ah, I see:

		/* assume design energy & capacity are in same block */

This means the bq27500 never programs capacity because we can't specify energy.
So I't suggest to revise this rule and coupling of energy and capacity setting.

Imho, DT can and should describe all properties of the standard OpenPandora
battery (and not missing registers of the bq27500).

Using this information or not should be defined by different defconfigs.

Anyways I have now collected my patches into a patch set for further
review and cherry-picking.

The driver requires that if either charge- or energy-full-design is
set, then the other must be. Setting one and leaving the other at
default would be an error. Allowing any value for a field unsupported
by the chip, when supported field values must be within a range, isn't
useful for hw development or production scenarios. The solution for
shipped equipment is to drop the monitored-battery ref; see below.

No mention of terminate-voltage in that run? Or is this truncated?
Looks like you didn't set energy-* to zero, so I can't tell if charge-* works.

The kernel driver has this feature primarily for gauges that lack NVM.
It sets those without config_battery_bq27xxx_dt_updates_nvm. The NVM
programming feature is for hw development and/or production. I don't
recommend it for shipped equipment.

No, it failed to set charge-* because energy-* is out of range. Fix
that and it should just emit a warning about energy-* "buffer does not
match dm spec"

Just omit monitored-battery from the bq27500 node on shipped devices.
We shall not program NVM on a stock kernel. And unfortunately you
can't send an NVM gauge temporary params.

NB: the DT battery node is new and all the implications have not been
discovered.

This BQ27 feature was begun in December of last year, and I'm a little
tired of thinking about it. Feel free to suggest improvements, but be
aware that we might have already considered and rejected them :-)

Here I strongly disagree. The DT property should describe the battery and not
a limitation of the fuel gauge chip or the value is not in the range of what
the chip expects.

IMHO, if the fuel gauge driver can't handle, it should not require to tamper
with the battery DT description making it wrong and unuseable for other purposes.

Isn't this what the defconfigs are for?

A stock kernel should keep CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_DT_UPDATES_NVM disabled
and I haven't seen that it is enabled in a stock defconfig.

A production kernel (or user wanting to play with it) can enable. But
should not change the DTB.

I have done the same mistake to mis-use DT as "configuration" or ask users to
install different DTB several times myself and was heavily criticized,
because maintainers clearly said DT should *describe* hardware and not configure
kernel features. I.e. there should be only one DTB for each board.

Hence I would expect them to say: if the bq27500 monitors the battery
it should be described by the DT. And if the battery has some
energy-full-design-microwatt-hours, it should be there and not a "0" or
omission.

But that is just *my* 2ct. DT maintainers should finally say something.

I fully understand :) I have some patches in tiresome discussion since ca. 3 years...

We had observed this issue for the RAM only fuel gauge bq27421 a while ago
(I think even before December) and had started our own patch set. Grazvydas
recently had made it working on some older kernel which is now superseded by
your patch set. So you were faster in submitting a solution (and yours is
even more general than what we had ever thought about).

So I am very pleased with that we have a big step forward for the bq27421
based device. Making the bq27500 in the OpenPandora fool proof isn't that important
for the moment so we can postpone it.

BR and thanks for all the work,
Nikolaus

Hi,

This may be a fix that allows >0 input from DT, but won't try to
program the register since the first 3 fields aren't compatible:

... bq27500_dm_regs[] = {
...
  [bq27xxx_dm_design_energy] = {  0,  0, 0,    0, 65535 }, /* missing on chip */
NB: align columns with other rows

In the previous run terminate-voltage appeared after battery_unseal.

You are right that we use DT:battery as config for the case of NVM hw
development/manufacture (requiring custom kernel build). It is
expedient since we have DT inputs for non-NVM chips.

But upstream dts cannot use monitored-battery to program NVM chips, as
it won't (ever) work on normal kernels. You can argue that
monitored-battery should cause a warning if an NVM chip has different
settings, and we do that!

Where I previously said "for hw development/production" the latter
term means manufacture, ie a kernel for use on assembly line for
config/test. config...dt_updates_nvm shall not be set in a defconfig,
distro, or shipped hw.

We're also working on an omap device, tho not a "handheld"

Hi Liam,
I finally continues testing on OpenPandora.

I have tried with this DT

	bat: battery {
		compatible = "simple-battery", "openpandora-battery";
		voltage-min-design-microvolt = <3250000>;
		energy-full-design-microwatt-hours = <14800000>;
		charge-full-design-microamp-hours = <4100000>;
	};

and here is the result:

Hi! IIRC hwmon name cannot contain '-'. Use '_' instead.

Yes. I'd like to see it fixed as well...

AFAIR it is a general problem outside of battery drivers and IMHO there is some note somewhere.
Nobody "uses" a '-'. It is some logic that automatically creates node names which hwmon rejects.

Is there also a bq27000 chip on this device, or a battery with it
embedded? If so, it doesn't appear to have a DT node (correct for
embedded), hence that warning, which isn't useful in that case. Prob
battery_settings() should do:
    if (!di->dev->of_node || power_supply_get_battery_info(...) < 0) return;
altho that would be wrong once get_battery_info() supports ACPI config...

I wouldn't guess that the above state is due to the DM update
sequence, but I suppose that's possible. Another update pass might
clarify that.

Oh dear. I imagine this is due to a flaw in the multi-block DM update
logic. It could be that one of the pauses between calls should be
longer The terminate-voltage spec comes from this datasheet:
page 19, http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq27500.pdf

It's possible that this second pass did update it. What does the next
reboot show?

> BTW: it would be nice if all "update" messages could tell the old value as well.

We have the orig values in memory since we read the block before
updating. Feel free to patch that in :-)

For general use on OpenPandora, you wouldn't have
config...dt_updates_nvm option set, so the driver should report what
the chip settings are and whether they aren't what the DT spec'd.
Let's verify that too...

No it is not available, but could be. The bq27000 can be connected through
HDQ to an OMAP3 and therefore there is no auto-detection. If it is configured
the driver will be loaded. Even if there is no battery_info.

In fact we use the same defconfig for several devices and there is one (GTA04)
which only has a bq27000 inside the battery.

Any idea why the driver detects a non-present bq27000 and calls
probe() for it? defconfig with battery_bq27xxx=y ?

Yes.

The key reason is that hdq can't detect presence of a device
without support of the device driver. Which means as soon as
you have hdq and the battery driver it will be present and
create /sys/class/power entry. Which says "battery not present".

It is the best it can do. Especially for removeable batteries
(which might be installed some time after boot and probing).

If you want to study further, there is some code in the hdq
subsystem to load the bq27000.

Nikolaus

It seems as if the bq27500 needs some time (or a reboot) to recover from no battery and
