Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: generic-adc-battery: fix status with no supplier
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 22:21:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013022153.6707-1-me@timdoug.com> (raw)

power_supply_am_i_supplied() returns -ENODEV when no registered power
supply supplies the battery. generic-adc-battery's gab_work() tests this
return value as a boolean, so -ENODEV takes the supplied branch and
reports CHARGING, or NOT_CHARGING if the charge-finished GPIO is asserted,
instead of DISCHARGING.

This was noticed while bringing up an out-of-tree Linux port to the
WikiReader: the driver reported CHARGING on a device powered by two AAA
batteries with no charging hardware.

Only a positive return value indicates an online supplier, so treat zero
and negative returns as discharging.

Fixes: 46cecd130d55 ("power: supply: Fix power_supply_am_i_supplied to return -ENODEV when apropriate")
