[PATCH 0/2] power: bq27xxx_battery: add configurable poll_interval

[Matt Ranostay]

Patchset series fixes the kernel_parameter poll_interval not scheduling
the next event with the new interval. Also creates a sysfs entry that is
useful for udev attribute assignment.

[PATCH 1/2] power: bq27xxx_battery: add configurable poll_interval by sysfs

[Matt Ranostay]

Allow the poll_interval to be runtime configurable via an sysfs entry.
This is needed for udev control of the poll interval.

New sysfs attributes should be documented in Documentation/ABI.

Also I'm not too keen to add this, as there is already the sysfs
entry for the module parameter. I don't see any reason why udev
should not be able to change that value, so fix udev instead of
duplicating functionality in the kernel.

Looks fine otherwise. When you redo the patch it would be nice to
rename param_lock into something like bq27xxx_list_lock instead,
though.

Yeah I should know better :)

Yeah duplication is bad.  We are wondering if having a
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_UPDATE_INTERVAL would be an more acceptable
solution. Of course this would need to be made generic and not a per
driver solution as it is now.

working mail address would be nice here.

sysfs files should be documented.

Also... what is it good for?

Do you have a device that needs non-standard interval?

Basically we need to have the ability to dynamically change the
intervals. So closer to a battery drain we need to up the reporting
intervals.

Could you elaborate on that? What intervals do you normally need, what
do you need around empty battery, and why is that?

I'm thinking about adding kernel thread to shut down the system if
battery goes critically empty. It is kernel job to protect the
hardware, and that should include the battery...

Best regards,

Umm, there seems to be mechanism there to change that already...?

static const struct kernel_param_ops param_ops_poll_interval = {
        .get = param_get_uint,
 	.set = poll_interval_param_set,
};

Ah right. Commenting on the wrong patchset oops :).
