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.
