From 91dabc54073324006d5eaba483679c47b6eb93a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Thomson Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:10:57 +0100 Subject: Documentation: power: Initial effort to document power_supply ABI This commit adds generic ABI information regarding power_supply properties. This is an initial attempt to try and align the usage of these properties between drivers. As part of this commit, common Battery and USB related properties have been listed.
