[RFC PATCH v3 1/9] dt-bindings: battery: Add temperature-capacity degradation table

From: Matti Vaittinen
Date: Tue Nov 16 2021 - 07:25:07 EST


Some charger/battery vendors describe the temperature impact to
battery capacity by providing tables with capacity change at
given temperature. Support providing this temperature - capacity
dependency using the simple-battery DT nodes.
