[PATCH 0/2] More AB8500 charging props

[Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>]

These two patches begin to put new stuff into the
drivers/power/supply/ab8500_bmdata.c for:

A) battery temperature look-up and interpolation, and
B) maintenance charging

Some design choices can be discussed, so I included some
HWMON etc maintainers.

NTC resistor:

For the battery NTC temperature we should note the existing NTC
driver in drivers/hwmon/ntc_thermistor.c with bindings
in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/ntc-thermistor.yaml
which is used for stand-alone NTC resistors.

It is probably possible to try to reuse the hwmon code but I
wanted to see if we have buy-in from the hwmon maintainer first.

If yes, I will try to come up with some way of representing the
NTC resistor in the device tree and use it in-tree from the
charging drivers.

Maintenance charging:

I included an infrastructure for maintenance "charging points"
which constitute of a current, a voltage and a safety timer:

struct power_supply_maintenance_charge_table {
       int charge_current_max_ua;
       int charge_voltage_max_uv;
       int charge_safety_timer_minutes;
};

This is all pretty straight-forward if just adding maintenance
charging.

For the bigger picture, however, a charging point can also
include the existing CC/CV current and voltage and the
precharging current and voltage as two charging points,
possibly without corresponding safety timer. If this is
desired I will rework the patch to refactor the existing
currents and voltages into charging points as well.
