[PATCH] power: supply: qcom_battmgr: do not report power_now on SM8750

From: Qianhui Xu

Date: Mon Oct 12 2026 - 20:21:47 EST


From: Xu Qianhui <xiaqinghuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The SM8750 QBG firmware fills BATT_POWER_NOW via its maximum-load updater
instead of an instantaneous measurement: the property getter indexes
context + 0x6a8 + 4 * property, so property 22 (BATT_POWER_NOW) reads the
offset written by the maximum-load path. Exposing that as power_now makes
userspace report e.g. 89 W while the battery is charging below 1 W, or
above 100 W while discharging at about 4 W.

The SM8750 PMIC GLINK node is already described in DT
("qcom,sm8750-pmic-glink" in sm8750-mtp/qrd), but the driver has no entry
for it, so it falls back to QCOM_BATTMGR_SM8350 and advertises POWER_NOW.

Add the SM8750 variant and a battery descriptor that reuses the SM8550
properties without POWER_NOW. The property array is reordered so that
POWER_NOW is the last entry, which keeps the new descriptor a two-line
addition; property ordering itself is not ABI.

Voltage, current, charge counters and the charge-control thresholds are
retained.

Tested on Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen4 (TB322FC, SM8750P): charging and
discharging, UPower state-of-charge and rate are unchanged and power_now
is no longer exposed.
