'lp8788-charger' registers not charger-manager but power-supply subsystem.
'lp8788-adc' is the IIO driver.
'lp8788-charger' is the IIO consumer of lp8788-adc.
(How to communicate between lp8788-adc and lp8788-charger)
1. Application requests vbatt(battery voltage) by accessing /sys/class/power/
2. lp8788-charger asks lp8788-adc to get converted vbatt value
3. lp8788-adc get the battery ADC from the device.
It returns calculated micro voltage to lp8788-charger.
4. lp8788-charger reports this uV value to the application
5. Application uses uV or converts to mV or V unit. It's up to the app.
Please note that battery app accesses not /sys/bus/iio but /sys/class/power/.
Best regards,
Milo
