Add support for PbAc, NiZn, RAM, and ZnAr chemistries as defined in the Smart Battery Data Specification v1.1 (Section 5.1.30 DeviceChemistry). Currently, the sbs-battery driver only handles LION, LiP, NiCd and NiMH. The Smart Battery specification defines 8 possible values: - Lead Acid (PbAc) - Lithium Ion (LION) - Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) - Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) - Nickel Zinc (NiZn) - Rechargeable Alkaline-Manganese (RAM) - Zinc Air (ZnAr) - Lithium Polymer (LiP) Link: https://sbs-forum.org/specs/sbdat110.pdf Signed-off-by: Boris Shtrasman <redacted> --- drivers/power/supply/sbs-battery.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+)
