chrgr means charger, chrg means charge. Isn't it used consistently?. Can fix it if
it's really annoying. Please suggest.

I feel, having a function just for few assignments may not be a good idea.
What about having memcpy?

Cache is to store previous battery properties. On receiving a new event
compare the properties with cached value to decide charging state
(charging/not charging/full etc.) and to control charging. There is added
saving with caching. If the previous and current battery properties doesn't
differ much, ignore the event instead of continuing (as implemented in
is_trigger_charging_algo) with invoking charging algorithms. Also caching helps
to take few critical charging decisions - like charge termination which need
charge current and voltage over a period of time.
Since a power_supply object (driver) is identified by name, it's the only index
available.
goto can be fixed by a memcpy, but just wanted to keep the assignments to make
it more meaningful than having a dumb copy.

The is_supplied_to_has_ext_pwr_changed() return true if any of the power_supply
objects in supplied_to list has the external_power_changed() call back defined.
This to optimize the notifications and to reduce charging algo invocations.
This is used in is_trigger_charging_algo() to decide charging algorithms should
be invoked or not.

In reality this would be one/two, just because the number of chargers supplying
power to a battery would be limited.

Yes, it's bubble sort. Since the number of power supply objects in real systems
(max 4) are limited, I feel the complexity would be as same as any other
sorting algorithms. Any suggestions?

Will fix it in next patch set.

It's really not so complex. The caches are allocated dynamically only when
a new charger/battery power supply object gets registered - basically when a
charger/battery driver gets loaded. At runtime no dynamic allocation is needed.
There is not too many string comparisons just because the number of power
supply objects are limited. Power supply subsystem has only name as unique
identifier (psy->name). I couldn't find a better way without string comparisons
to identify a power supply object.
