[PATCH] power_supply: Add new power supply properties CHARGE_CURRENT/VOLTAGE_MAX

From: Ramakrishna Pallala
Date: Mon Jul 30 2012 - 02:30:21 EST


There are different types of chargers avalibale like AC, Solar, USB, etc..
Even in USB we have different types SDP/DCP/CDP/ACA and all these
chargers have different o/p ratings. For example SDP supports only 500mA of
charge current whereas AC charger can support upto 8A or more.

Similarly batteries also come with charge current and voltage ratings and
these ratings vary depending on its capacity and the technology used.

This patch adds two new power supply properties CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX and
CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX.
