SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/4] power: supply: add charge_behaviour property (force-discharge, inhibit-charge)
From
Date
Hi Thomas,

thank you very much for working on this. It is high time that we leave
external kernel modules for ThinkPads behind us.

S-o-b/Co-developed-by/Tested-by is fine with me.

I tested your patches.

Hardware:

- ThinkPad X220, BAT0
- ThinkPad T450s, BAT0+BAT1
- ThinkPad X1C6, BAT0

Test Results:

1. force-discharge

Everythings works as expected
- Writing including disengaging w/ "auto" : OK
- Reading: OK

- Battery discharging: OK
- Disengaging with "auto": OK

2. inhibit-charge

Works as expected:
- Writing: OK

- Disengaging with "auto": OK


Discrepancies:
- Battery charge inhibited: BAT0 OK, BAT1 no effect e.g. continues charging
- Reading: always returns "auto"

Note: the reading discrepancy may be related to Hans' remarks [1].
