power_supply: Add initial Charger-Manager driver

Because battery health monitoring should be done even when suspended,
it needs to wake up and suspend periodically. Thus, userspace battery
monitoring may incur too much overhead; every device and task is woken
up periodically. Charger Manager uses suspend-again to provide
in-suspend monitoring.

This patch allows to monitor battery health in-suspend state.

+Charger Manager
+	(C) 2011 MyungJoo Ham <[email protected]>, GPL
+
+Charger Manager provides in-kernel battery charger management that
+requires temperature monitoring during suspend-to-RAM state
+and where each battery may have multiple chargers attached and the userland
+wants to look at the aggregated information of the multiple chargers.
+
+Charger Manager is a platform_driver with power-supply-class entries.
+An instance of Charger Manager (a platform-device created with Charger-Manager)
+represents an independent battery with chargers. If there are multiple
+batteries with their own chargers acting independently in a system,
+the system may need multiple instances of Charger Manager.
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+Charger Manager supports the following:
+
+* Support for multiple chargers (e.g., a device with USB, AC, and solar panels)
+	A system may have multiple chargers (or power sources) and some of
+	they may be activated at the same time. Each charger may have its
+	own power-supply-class and each power-supply-class can provide
+	different information about the battery status. This framework
+	aggregates charger-related information from multiple sources and
+	shows combined information as a single power-supply-class.
+
+* Support for in suspend-to-RAM polling (with suspend_again callback)
+	While the battery is being charged and the system is in suspend-to-RAM,
+	we may need to monitor the battery health by looking at the ambient or
+	battery temperature. We can accomplish this by waking up the system
+	periodically. However, such a method wakes up devices unncessary for
+	monitoring the battery health and tasks, and user processes that are
+	supposed to be kept suspended. That, in turn, incurs unnecessary power
+	consumption and slow down charging process. Or even, such peak power
+	consumption can stop chargers in the middle of charging
+	(external power input < device power consumption), which not
+	only affects the charging time, but the lifespan of the battery.
+
+	Charger Manager provides a function "cm_suspend_again" that can be
+	used as suspend_again callback of platform_suspend_ops. If the platform
+	requires tasks other than cm_suspend_again, it may implement its own
+	suspend_again callback that calls cm_suspend_again in the middle.
+	Normally, the platform will need to resume and suspend some devices
+	that are used by Charger Manager.
+
+2. Global Charger-Manager Data related with suspend_again
+========================================================
+In order to setup Charger Manager with suspend-again feature
+(in-suspend monitoring), the user should provide charger_global_desc
+with setup_charger_manager(struct charger_global_desc *).
+This charger_global_desc data for in-suspend monitoring is global
+as the name suggests. Thus, the user needs to provide only once even
+if there are multiple batteries. If there are multiple batteries, the
+multiple instances of Charger Manager share the same charger_global_desc
+and it will manage in-suspend monitoring for all instances of Charger Manager.
+
+The user needs to provide all the two entries properly in order to activate
+in-suspend monitoring:
+
+struct charger_global_desc {
+
+char *rtc_name;
+	: The name of rtc (e.g., "rtc0") used to wakeup the system from
+	suspend for Charger Manager. The alarm interrupt (AIE) of the rtc
+	should be able to wake up the system from suspend. Charger Manager
+	saves and restores the alarm value and use the previously-defined
+	alarm if it is going to go off earlier than Charger Manager so that
+	Charger Manager does not interfere with previously-defined alarms.
+
+bool (*rtc_only_wakeup)(void);
+	: This callback should let CM know whether
+	the wakeup-from-suspend is caused only by the alarm of "rtc" in the
+	same struct. If there is any other wakeup source triggered the
+	wakeup, it should return false. If the "rtc" is the only wakeup
+	reason, it should return true.
+};
+
+3. How to setup suspend_again
+=============================
+Charger Manager provides a function "extern bool cm_suspend_again(void)".
+When cm_suspend_again is called, it monitors every battery. The suspend_ops
+callback of the system's platform_suspend_ops can call cm_suspend_again
+function to know whether Charger Manager wants to suspend again or not.
+If there are no other devices or tasks that want to use suspend_again
+feature, the platform_suspend_ops may directly refer to cm_suspend_again
+for its suspend_again callback.
+
+The cm_suspend_again() returns true (meaning "I want to suspend again")
+if the system was woken up by Charger Manager and the polling
+(in-suspend monitoring) results in "normal".
+
+4. Charger-Manager Data (struct charger_desc)
+=============================================
+For each battery charged independently from other batteries (if a series of
+batteries are charged by a single charger, they are counted as one independent
+battery), an instance of Charger Manager is attached to it.
+
+struct charger_desc {
+
+enum polling_modes polling_mode;
+	: CM_POLL_DISABLE: do not poll this battery.
+	  CM_POLL_ALWAYS: always poll this battery.
+	  CM_POLL_EXTERNAL_POWER_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if
+				       an external power source is attached.
+	  CM_POLL_CHARGING_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if the
+				 battery is being charged.
+
+unsigned int polling_interval_ms;
+	: Required polling interval in ms. Charger Manager will poll
+	this battery every polling_interval_ms or more frequently.
+
+enum data_source battery_present;
+	CM_FUEL_GAUGE: get battery presence information from fuel gauge.
+	CM_CHARGER_STAT: get battery presence from chargers.
+
+char **psy_charger_stat;
+	: An array ending with NULL that has power-supply-class names of
+	chargers. Each power-supply-class should provide "PRESENT" (if
+	battery_present is "CM_CHARGER_STAT"), "ONLINE" (shows whether an
+	external power source is attached or not), and "STATUS" (shows whether
+	the battery is {"FULL" or not FULL} or {"FULL", "Charging",
+	"Discharging", "NotCharging"}).
+
+int num_charger_regulators;
+struct regulator_bulk_data *charger_regulators;
+	: Regulators representing the chargers in the form for
+	regulator framework's bulk functions.
+
+char *psy_fuel_gauge;
+	: Power-supply-class name of the fuel gauge.
+
+int (*temperature_out_of_range)(int *mC);
+	: This callback returns 0 if the temperature is safe for charging,
+	a positive number if it is too hot to charge, and a negative number
+	if it is too cold to charge. With the variable mC, the callback returns
+	the temperature in 1/1000 of centigrade.
+};
+
+5. Other Considerations
+=======================
+
+At the charger/battery-related events such as battery-pulled-out,
+charger-pulled-out, charger-inserted, DCIN-over/under-voltage, charger-stopped,
+and others critical to chargers, the system should be configured to wake up.
+At least the following should wake up the system from a suspend:
+a) charger-on/off b) external-power-in/out c) battery-in/out (while charging)
+
+It is usually accomplished by configuring the PMIC as a wakeup source.
