[PATCH v1 3/5] docs: power: fix power_supply_class.rst status, health and time_to
From: Iván Ezequiel Rodriguez
Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 14:08:56 EST
Correct STATUS/HEALTH references to POWER_SUPPLY_* enums in
include/linux/power_supply.h instead of the nonexistent battery.h
macros. Document TIME_TO_{EMPTY,FULL}_{NOW,AVG}, fix the "operatable"
typo, and note that MODEL_NAME and MANUFACTURER already exist.
