Right, I missed that one. Everything is clear now.
So we have different bindings. Existing ones:
bq2415x.txt - ti,charge-current - maximum charging current in mA
bq24257.txt - ti,charge-current - maximum charging current in uA
bq25890.txt - ti,charge-current - maximum charging current in uA
bq24735.txt - ti,charge-current - charge current (?) in mA
bq2415x.txt - ti,current-limit - maximum current to be drawn in mA
New bindings:
ti,charge-current (bq24261) - default charge current in mA
ti,max-charge-current (bq24261) - maximum charging current in mA
ti,current-limit (bq2425x) - maximum current to be drawn in uA
Damn it... It's a mess. And there is no device prefixes...
The bq24261's bindings look most sensible (max prefix for max charge
current) but they are not compatible with existing bindings for
different devices.
There is no way to unify or make consistent all of these bindings.
However one could try to add new stuff in a more sensible way. For
example how about (for bq2425x-charger and bq24261_charger... BTW notice
even the difference in using underscore and hyphen!):
ti,charge-current - maximum charging current in uA
(that one must be supported, it's for existing bq24257 devices)
ti,default-charge-current (bq24261) - default charge current in *uA*
ti,current-limit (bq2425x) - maximum current to be drawn in *uA*
Best regards,
Krzysztof
