Hi!
Did /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/capacity change meaning between
4.1 and 4.4?
It used to report battery capacity remaining in percent.
Not sure what it reports now, but ain't in percent....

And power_supply_class.txt says:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Charge/Energy/Capacity - how to not confuse ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~
~
~
~ Because both "charge" (µAh) and "energy" (µWh) represents "capacity"
~
~ of battery, this class distinguish these terms. Don't mix them!
~
~
~
~ CHARGE_* attributes represents capacity in µAh only.
~
~ ENERGY_* attributes represents capacity in µWh only.
~
~ CAPACITY attribute represents capacity in *percents*, from 0 to
100. ~
--- hmm. So that seems to be a mistake.

Converting them to hex gives rather strange values.
Hmm. .... what is this? Git blames Andrew F. Davis. The first part of
code suggests whole cache needs to be initialized... but the second
part of the code only initializes cache.time_to_empty (for example)
conditionaly.
Are you sure?
if (has_ci_flag && (cache.flags & BQ27000_FLAG_CI)) {
dev_info(di->dev, "battery is not calibrated! ignoring capacity values\n");
cache.capacity = -ENODATA;
cache.energy = -ENODATA;
cache.time_to_empty = -ENODATA;
cache.time_to_empty_avg = -ENODATA;
cache.time_to_full = -ENODATA;
cache.charge_full = -ENODATA;
cache.health = -ENODATA;
} else {
if (di->regs[BQ27XXX_REG_TTE] != INVALID_REG_ADDR)
cache.time_to_empty = bq27xxx_battery_read_time(di, BQ27XXX_REG_TTE);
if (di->regs[BQ27XXX_REG_TTECP] != INVALID_REG_ADDR)
cache.time_to_empty_avg = bq27xxx_battery_read_time(di, BQ27XXX_REG_TT\
ECP);
if (di->regs[BQ27XXX_REG_TTF] != INVALID_REG_ADDR)
cache.time_to_full = bq27xxx_battery_read_time(di, BQ27XXX_REG_TTF);
cache.charge_full = bq27xxx_battery_read_fcc(di);
cache.capacity = bq27xxx_battery_read_soc(di);
if (di->regs[BQ27XXX_REG_AE] != INVALID_REG_ADDR)
cache.energy = bq27xxx_battery_read_energy(di);
cache.health = bq27xxx_battery_read_health(di);
}
But that does not explain the wrong capacity..
-static inline int bq27xxx_read(struct bq27xxx_device_info *di, u8 reg,
+static inline int bq27xxx_read(struct bq27xxx_device_info *di, int reg_index,
bool single)
{
This is pretty anti-social function now has completely different
meaning, yet same name and compatible enough not to catch mistakes.
And sure enough:
static int bq27xxx_battery_read_charge(struct bq27xxx_device_info *di,u8 reg)
{
int charge;
charge = bq27xxx_read(di, reg, false);
The internal functions already check for non-existent registers. We
can kill the debug prints and reuse that... its better than not
initializing half the struct.
The types should in bq27xxx_battery_read_time should be certainly
fixed like the patch below suggests.
The patch does not compile, but I should be sleeping, not trying to
understand crazy code. Whoever wrote it, please fix it. Maybe you can
just do
cache.capacity = -ENODATA;
cache.energy = -ENODATA;
cache.time_to_empty = -ENODATA;
cache.time_to_empty_avg = -ENODATA;
cache.time_to_full = -ENODATA;
cache.charge_full = -ENODATA;
cache.health = -ENODATA;
undonditionaly so that half of file does not need updating.
