But another issue is some users may need to get the charger type from power supply by "power_supply_get_property()" function, we need to integrate with the power supply things in the usb charger framework, not user to implement that. > > - Detect: (write to and) read from HW to get the charger type, > save to uchger->type; > - Get: read the charger type from uchger->type. > >> >> > to have the charger type and set uchger->type, then you no need to add >> > the comments/description to limit it usage.
