Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] Add Apple Silicon SMC power driver

On Fri, 09 Jan 2026, Michael Reeves via B4 Relay wrote:

This series adds a power supply driver for the Apple SMC found on
Apple Silicon devices. This allows the kernel to report AC status,
battery charging status, and power metrics, and modify the charging
behaviour.

The first patch adds the driver itself, and the second patch wires it
up to the MFD core.

The driver is based on an original out-of-tree implementation by
Hector Martin. It has been refactored for upstream inclusion, 
including support for newer SMC firmwares, devices without batteries,
dynamic property detection and improved state management.

Tested on: Apple M3 (MacBook Air, J613)

- Fixed Makefile alignment by using tabs for the macsmc-power entry.
- Upgraded physical battery exhaustion log level to EMERG.
- Downgraded software-triggered orderly poweroff log level to CRIT.
- Added check for CHIS key to skip AC registration on desktop models.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260105-b4-macsmc-power-v1-0-62954c42a555@gmail.com (local)

Let me know when the Power driver has been merged and I'll take the MFD part.
