RE: [PATCH V6 2/2] power: supply: bq27xxx: Add support for BQ78Z100

Hi Sebastian,


About 4mA current, it's not the expected current, since we are working remotely, the instrument was unattended.
With the real current, the battery will be empty in a working day, so we just connect a dummy load for test for a while,
You mentioned the POWER_AVG looks suspicious, yes, it's due to I didn't pick the all the commits from master into my code, after pick it's looks correct.
About " Discharging " for idle battery, I picked you change, and it is "Not Charging", yes fixed by you!
One question, after I pick all the commits, the current goes to negative during discharging, is this correct?

POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=bq78z100-0
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Discharging
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=3386000
POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=-5000
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=27
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Normal
POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP=269
POWER_SUPPLY_TIME_TO_EMPTY_NOW=1249920
POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion
POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=6494000
POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=1736000
POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=6000000
POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_AVG=-20000
POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH=Good
POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=Texas Instruments

4mA @ 3.4V is 13.6 mW, which seems really small to me.
Is this what you expect for your hardware?

I guess 18 days TTE is expected with such a small discharge rate.

You are not feeding ENERGY_NOW with data, so do not expose it.

> POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_AVG=65535

That's a signed int16 -1 and looks suspicious. Especially since expected power average is around 13.6 mW. Is something wrong with the handling of BQ27XXX_REG_AP for your chip?

That should actually be "Not Charging" for an idle battery. I suppose recent changes to bq27000, which I applied in the last few days to my for-next branch, might fix this.

You should expose POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CHARGE_NOW for exposing BQ27XXX_REG_RC info, which is more precise than CAPACITY.

Thanks,
