This driver was originally submitted for the TI BQ20Z75 battery IC
(commit a7640bfa10 ("power_supply: Add driver for TI BQ20Z75 gas gauge
IC")) and later renamed to express generic SBS support. While it's
mostly true that this driver implemented a standard SBS command set, it
takes liberties with the REG_MANUFACTURER_DATA register. This register
is specified in the SBS spec, but it doesn't make any mention of what
its actual contents are.
We've sort of noticed this optionality previously, with commit
17c6d3979e ("sbs-battery: make writes to ManufacturerAccess
optional"), where we found that some batteries NAK writes to this
register.
What this really means is that so far, we've just been lucky that most
batteries have either been compatible with the TI chip, or else at least
haven't reported highly-unexpected values.
For instance, one battery I have here seems to report either 0x0000 or
0x0100 to the MANUFACTURER_ACCESS_STATUS command -- while this seems to
match either Wake Up (bits[11:8] = 0000b) or Normal Discharge
(bits[11:8] = 0001b) status for the TI part [1], they don't seem to
actually correspond to real states (for instance, I never see 0101b =
Charge, even when charging).
On other batteries, I'm getting apparently random data in return, which
means that occasionally, we interpret this as "battery not present" or
"battery is not healthy".
All in all, it seems to be a really bad idea to make assumptions about
REG_MANUFACTURER_DATA, unless we already know what battery we're using.
Therefore, this patch reimplements the "present" and "health" checks to
the following on most SBS batteries:
1. HEALTH: report "unknown" -- I couldn't find a standard SBS command
that gives us much useful here
2. PRESENT: just send a REG_STATUS command; if it succeeds, then the
battery is present
Also, we stop sending MANUFACTURER_ACCESS_SLEEP to non-TI parts. I have
no proof that this is useful and supported.
If someone explicitly provided a 'ti,bq20z75' compatible property, then
we continue to use the existing TI command behaviors, and we effectively
revert commit 17c6d3979e ("sbs-battery: make writes to
ManufacturerAccess optional") to again make these commands required.
