Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: sbs-battery: Add PbAc, NiZn, RAM, and ZnAr support
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 17:59:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260621145952.56720-1-borissh1983@gmail.com> (raw)

Add support for PbAc, NiZn, RAM, and ZnAr chemistries as defined in the
Smart Battery Data Specification v1.1 (Section 5.1.30 DeviceChemistry).

Currently, the sbs-battery driver only handles LION, LiP, NiCd and NiMH.
The Smart Battery specification defines 8 possible values:
 - Lead Acid (PbAc)
 - Lithium Ion (LION)
 - Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
 - Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
 - Nickel Zinc (NiZn)
 - Rechargeable Alkaline-Manganese (RAM)
 - Zinc Air (ZnAr)
 - Lithium Polymer (LiP)

Map the missing specification values to their respective core kernel
POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY definitions.
