Do you know how batteries and battery chargers are handled in the Linux kernel subsystem? While not as complex as the DRM subsystem, the power-supply subsystem is a key part of embedded mobile devices running Linux. This talk will give an overview of the subsystem, from hardware (e.g. what's a smary battery), to sysfs and uevent API exposed to userspace. We'll then demonstrate a template driver instantiated from device tree, and review typical mistakes that can occur along the way. Lastly, we'll discuss some of the shortcomings of the subsystem.
