Mess in the /sysfs: class/power_supply

Hi!

So we have multiple values in one sysfs file:

root@n900:/sys/class/power_supply# cat bq24150a-0/registers
0x00=0x50
0x01=0xc8
0x02=0x8e
0x03=0x4b
0x04=0x99

(should this go to debugfs somewhere?)

Unobvious and undocumented entries:

root@n900:/sys/class/power_supply# cat bq24150a-0/boost_status
0
pavel@duo:/data/l/linux-n900$ grep -ri boost_status Documentation/
pavel@duo:/data/l/linux-n900$ grep -ri termination_current Documentation/
pavel@duo:/data/l/linux-n900$ grep -ri current_now Documentation/
pavel@duo:/data/l/linux-n900$ grep -ri time_to_empty_avg Documentation/
pavel@duo:/data/l/linux-n900$


And different units in different parts of tree:

(these are mA)

root@n900:/sys/class/power_supply# cat bq24150a-0/current_limit
1800
root@n900:/sys/class/power_supply# cat bq24150a-0/termination_current
100

(and this is in uA)

root@n900:/sys/class/power_supply# cat bq27200-0/current_now
12138

(I believe uA is right, so it is bq24150a that should be fixed....?)

Ok, of course questions are: do we need to do something with it? If
so, what?

Best regards,
Pavel
