This patch allows reading (and writing, if the D+/D- USB signal-based charger type detection is disabled) of the input current limit through the POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_INPUT_CURRENT_LIMIT sysfs property. This allows userspace to see what charger was detected and to re-configure the maximum current drawn from the external supply at runtime based on system-level knowledge or user input.

They should be documented: Documentation/SubmitChecklist - point 19 Documentation/ABI/README
The patch comment is not 100% accurate. I'm not declaring/exposing a new sysfs property but rather use the power supply framework to expose the sysfs property that's associated with POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_INPUT_CURRENT_LIMIT which is actually called "input_current_limit". Will reword the description to make this clearer. Regards, -- Andreas Dannenberg Texas Instruments Inc
Although not all new drivers (and perhaps not all reviewers) follow this rule... Best regards, Krzysztof
