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) Signed-off-by: Michael Reeves <redacted> --- Changes in v3: - Rebase on top of latest linux-next - Drop charge control threshold properties. - Switch to devm_work_autocancel() for critical work. - Add platform ID table and remove MODULE_ALIAS. - Simplify property array management in struct macsmc_power. - Improve probe error handling and device pointer usage. - Minor style and indentation fixes. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260109-b4-macsmc-power-v2-0-93818f1e7d62@gmail.com (local) Changes in v2: - Added Reviewed-by: Neal Gompa [off-list ref] to all patches. - 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) --- Michael Reeves (2): power: supply: Add macsmc-power driver for Apple Silicon mfd: macsmc: Wire up Apple SMC power driver MAINTAINERS | 1 + drivers/mfd/macsmc.c | 1 + drivers/power/supply/Kconfig | 11 + drivers/power/supply/Makefile | 1 + drivers/power/supply/macsmc-power.c | 834 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 848 insertions(+) --- base-commit: b775e489bec70895b7ef6b66927886bbac79598f change-id: 20260105-b4-macsmc-power-d017cc7f53ac Best regards, -- Michael Reeves [off-list ref]
