Documentation of static battery characteristics that can be defined
for batteries which cannot self-identify. This information is required
by fuel-gauge and charger chips for proper handling of the battery.

+Battery Characteristics
+
+Required Properties:
+ - compatible: Must be "fixed-battery"
+
+Optional Properties:
+ - voltage-min-design-microvolt: drained battery voltage
+ - energy-full-design-microwatt-hours: battery design energy
+ - charge-full-design-microamp-hours: battery design capacity
+
+Future Properties must be named for the corresponding elements in
+enum power_supply_property, defined in include/linux/power_supply.h.
+
+Batteries must be referenced by chargers and/or fuel-gauges
+using a phandle. The phandle's property should be named
+"monitored-battery".
+
+Driver code should call power_supply_get_battery_info() to obtain
+battery properties via monitored-battery. For details see:
+  drivers/power/supply/power_supply_core.c
+  drivers/power/supply/bq27xxx_battery.c
+
+Example:
+
+	bat: battery {
+		compatible = "fixed-battery";
+		voltage-min-design-microvolt = <3200000>;
+		energy-full-design-microwatt-hours = <5290000>;
+		charge-full-design-microamp-hours = <1430000>;
+	};
