Hi Manish, thanks for the interest.

I assume you are mentioning reading current and voltage values. These
properties are not supported by the sbs-charger standard. All you can do
is set (write only) the charging current and charging voltage values.
Yet in all the boards I've worked with it's the sbs-battery compliant
chip that takes care of it.

CURRENT_OR and VOLTAGE_OR relate to wrong values in the charging
voltage/current registers. Since the sbs-battery chip takes care of it I
don't see any use for it.
POWER_FAIL marks there is not enough voltage to charge the battery. I
don't need that information so I did nothing to integrate it. Having a
quick look at the power supply defines I don't see were it could easily fit.
