Sorry for the wait. This needs to update the sysfs ABI documentation:

Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power

I think your patch description is a good explanation for that file.
Also I obviously missed to point this out for the "Long Life" charge
type, so please also add a sentence for that so that the property
is properly documented.

(Otherwise the patchset looks fine to me)

Thanks,
