[PATCH] power: bq24190_charger: Fix charge type sysfs property

From: Andreas Dannenberg
Date: Mon Aug 03 2015 - 17:11:38 EST


Access to the BQ24190's configurable charge type property (none, trickle,
fast) is being masked by an incorrect power_supply_property entry. After
applying this patch a new 'charge_type' property will appear in the
bq24190-charger sysfs folder backed up by getters/setters already
present in the driver.

The current driver incorrectly tries to declare the charge type property
using POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TYPE which is the wrong declaration for this
(actually POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TYPE itself has been superseeded by
power_supply.type and isn't even used anymore as part of the power
supply property declarations).

After implementing the fix tested this aspect of the driver using an
actual BQ24190 device and could witness the impact the change of charge
type has on the battery (writing '1' to the new sysfs property means
charging off, '2' will do trickle charging, and '3' will result in
fast charging).
