Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] power: supply: core: Add additional health status values
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 02:36:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250429003606.303870-1-W_Armin@gmx.de> (raw)
Some batteries can signal when an internal fuse was blown. In such a
case POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH_DEAD is too vague for userspace applications
to perform meaningful diagnostics.
Additionally some batteries can also signal when some of their
internal cells are imbalanced. In such a case returning
POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH_UNSPEC_FAILURE is again too vague for userspace
applications to perform meaningful diagnostics.
Add new health status values for both cases.
Signed-off-by: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

Changes since v1:
- rename "Fuse blown" to "Blown fuse"
- rename "Cell imbalanced" to "Cell imbalance"
