[PATCH] power: supply: sbs-battery: Handle unsupported PROP_TIME_TO_EMPTY_NOW

From: Nícolas F. R. A. Prado
Date: Thu Mar 07 2024 - 17:06:17 EST


Despite the RunTimeToEmpty() (0x11) function being defined in the SBS
specification as required, it seems that not all batteries implement it.
On platforms with such batteries, reading the property will cause an
error to be printed:

power_supply sbs-8-000b: driver failed to report `time_to_empty_now' property: -5

This not only pollutes the log, distracting from real problems on the
device, but also prevents the uevent file from being read since it
contains all properties, including the faulty one.

The following table summarizes the findings for a handful of platforms:

Platform Status Manufacturer Model
------------------------------------------------------------------------
mt8186-corsola-steelix-sku131072 OK BYD L22B3PG0
mt8195-cherry-tomato-r2 NOT OK PANASON AP16L5J
mt8192-asurada-spherion-r0 NOT OK PANASON AP15O5L
mt8183-kukui-jacuzzi-juniper-sku16 NOT OK LGC KT0 AP16L8J
mt8173-elm-hana OK Sunwoda L18D3PG1
sc7180-trogdor-lazor-limozeen-nots-r5 NOT OK Murata AP18C4K
sc7180-trogdor-kingoftown NOT OK 333-AC-0D-A GG02047XL
rk3399-gru-kevin OK SDI 4352D51

Identify during probe, based on the battery model, if this is one of the
quirky batteries, and if so, don't register the
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TIME_TO_EMPTY_NOW property.
