Looks good. But I will not merge it without a user and have comments
for the driver.
Android has been looking for these properties for a while now [1].
It was added[2] when we saw that the manufacturers were implementing these
properties in the driver. I didn't know the properties were absent upstream
until yesterday. Somebody pointed out in our ongoing effort to make sure
all core kernel changes that android depends on are present upstream.

I think those values are also propagated in application facing APIs in
Android (but I am not sure yet, let me know if that's something you want
to find out).

I wanted to chime in and present you a 'user' for this if that helps.
With user I meant an upstream kernel driver, which exposes the
values. But thanks for the pointer. This should be mentioned in
the patch description, also the fact that the status values are
directly taken from JEITA spec.

I mentioned the JEITA in the cover letter but I guess you would like the description in the commit message as well

I have added a note mentioning that the properties are taken from the JEITA spec in the commit message and listing the bq2515x_charger driver as a user. I am waiting for feedback on my other patches in the series before sending you v5 patches.
