[PATCH v2 0/8] Add sysfs entry for system load control
From: Waqar Hameed
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 15:39:57 EST
During discussions of the development of a new driver [1], it was
concluded that a new `sysfs` ABI for controlling the connection from
power to system load is wanted. This patchset introduces this.
There are already several drivers that are controlling this, but with
their own custom `sysfs` entries. The drivers in this patchset were find
with a simple `grep` for `bat\s?fet` (there might be more?), and then
converted to use this new `sysfs` ABI. The old custom ABIs are left
untouched of course, for backward compatibility.

Changes in v2:
* Drop already merged patches (picked up by Sebastian in v1).
* Pack `struct power_supply_desc` so that an extra member doesn't
increase the size unnecessarily too much.
* Use `power_supply_show_enum_with_available()` for
`POWER_SUPPLY_LOAD_SWITCH`.
* Drop commit for selftest since properties using
`power_supply_show_enum_with_available()` don't have any helper test
functions. Should we add this (in a separate patch set)? I'll others
decide if it's worth the churn...
* Add implementation for bq25630.
