Subject: [PATCH 1/2] power: supply: qcom_battmgr: fix CHARGE_FULL* on SM8350-class firmware
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 07:45:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260829054546.86210-2-jan.brummer@tabos.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260829054546.86210-1-jan.brummer@tabos.org>

battmgr->unit is only ever assigned in the BATTMGR_BAT_INFO handler of
the SC8280XP callback. The SM8350-class firmware does not implement that
request - every property is fetched individually via
BATTMGR_BAT_PROPERTY_GET - so unit keeps its zero-initialised value,
QCOM_BATTMGR_UNIT_mWh.

POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CHARGE_FULL and POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN
are guarded by 'if (unit != QCOM_BATTMGR_UNIT_mAh) return -ENODATA;',
hence both properties always fail on these platforms, even though the
values are requested from the firmware and stored in
info.last_full_capacity and info.design_capacity on every access:

  $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/qcom-battmgr-bat/charge_full
  cat: read error: No data available

Without a full charge value userspace cannot derive an absolute energy
level, so UPower reports a zero energy level and never computes a
time-to-empty/time-to-full estimate:

    energy:              0 Wh
    energy-full:         0 Wh
    energy-rate:         12.4713 W
    percentage:          59%

The firmware of this class reports charge domain values, so set the unit
statically when registering the SM8350/SM8550 power supplies. With this
patch the properties read back consistently on a Fairphone 5:

  charge_full         4116000
  charge_full_design  4260000
  capacity            85
