On chromebooks, power_manager daemon normally shutsdown(S5) the device when the battery charge falls below 4% threshold. Chromeos EC then normally spends an hour in S5 before hibernating. If the battery charge falls below critical threshold in the mean time, EC does a battery cutoff instead of hibernating. On some chromebooks, S5 is optimal enough resulting in EC hibernating without battery cut-off. This results in battery deep-discharging. This is a bad user experience as battery has to trickle charge before booting when the A.C is plugged in the next time.
This patch exposes a sysfs file for an userland daemon to suggest EC if it has to do a battery cut-off instead of hibernating when the system enters S5 next time. Signed-off-by: RaviChandra Sadineni <ravisadin...@chromium.org> --- V3: Make battery-cutoff generic and expose 'at-shutdown' flag. V2: Use kstrtobool() instead of kstrtou8() and add documentation. .../ABI/testing/sysfs-class-chromeos | 10 ++++ drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_sysfs.c | 48 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 58 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-chromeos diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-chromeos b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-chromeos new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..d5ab22c44977 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-chromeos @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +What: /sys/class/chromeos/cros_ec/battery-cuttoff +Date: February 2019 +Contact: Ravi Chandra Sadineni <ravisadin...@chromium.org> +Description: + cros_ec battery cuttoff configuration.
