2008-03-12documentation: Move power-related files to Documentation/power/Randy Dunlap1-169/+0
Move 00-INDEX entries to power/00-INDEX (and add entry for pm_qos_interface.txt). Update references to moved filenames. Fix some trailing whitespace. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2008-02-02power_supply: add few more values and propsDmitry Baryshkov1-0/+4
Add LiMn (one of the most common for small non-rechargable batteries) battery technology and voltage_min/_max properties support. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Baryshkov <dbaryshkov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <cbou@mail.ru>
2008-02-02power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVELAndres Salomon1-2/+0
The CAPACITY_LEVEL stuff defines various levels of charge; however, what is the difference between them? What differentiates between HIGH and NORMAL, LOW and CRITICAL, etc? As it appears that these are fairly arbitrary, we end up making such policy decisions in the kernel (or in hardware). This is the sort of decision that should be made in userspace, not in the kernel. If the hardware does not support _CAPACITY and it cannot be easily calculated, then perhaps the driver should register a custom CAPACITY_LEVEL attribute; however, userspace should not become accustomed to looking for such a thing, and we should certainly not encourage drivers to provide CAPACITY_LEVEL stubs. The following removes support for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL. The OLPC battery driver is the only driver making use of this, so it's removed from there as well.

2007-07-10[BATTERY] Universal power supply class (was: battery class)Anton Vorontsov1-0/+167
This class is result of "external power" and "battery" classes merge, as suggested by David Woodhouse. He also implemented uevent support.
