[PATCH RFC V2 0/4] Add "scope" to power supplies

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Fri Dec 09 2011 - 17:43:43 EST


This series adds a "scope" attribute to power supplies, to indicate
whether it powers the whole system ("System") or just some subset of
the devices ("Device"). This allows upowerd to distinguish between
system-wide power supplies and self-powered devices such as cordless
mice.

This series also adds a "powers" link to power supplies, so that if
they're scope=Device, they can specifically indicate which device
tree they power.

Updates since last post:
- Add more complete documentation to scope and "powers" links
- Remove unnecessary scopes on System power supplies
- Make HID battery supplies Device, and add "powers" pointers
for them.

This can also be pulled from:

Jeremy Fitzhardinge (4):
power_supply: add SCOPE attribute to power supplies
power_supply: allow a power supply to explicitly point to powered
device
power_supply: add scope properties to some self-powered HID devices
power_supply: add "powers" links to self-powered HID devices
