Subject: PATCH v2 0/2] Power: supply: Add PbAc, NiZn, RAM, and ZnAr support
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:57:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624135718.286771-1-borissh1983@gmail.com> (raw)
These series adds 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 and documenation, declare these
values into selftest.
In selftest LiMn is moved to the next line to comply with
checkpatch warning after adding said types.
It is an update for

Changes in V2:
1. Seperate into two patches.
2. Modify Documenation, self test and sysfs interface. self test is
updated as the documeation is now mentioning them.
