Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Adjust logic for power_supply_is_system_supplied()

Some systems don't provide any ACPI power supplies, but drivers use
the function power_supply_is_system_supplied() to make policy decisions.

This logic works fine until a new device is added to the system that
provides a UCSI power supply. This power supply doesn't power the system
but the logic assumes it does.

This series adjusts the logic so that these power supplies are not
considered when making these policy decisions.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] usb: typec: ucsi: Don't create power supplies for dGPUs

power_supply_is_system_supplied() checks whether any power
supplies are present that aren't batteries to decide whether
the system is running on DC or AC. Downstream drivers use
this to make performance decisions.

Navi dGPUs include an UCSI function that has been exported
since commit 17631e8ca2d3 ("i2c: designware: Add driver
support for AMD NAVI GPU").

This UCSI function registers a power supply since commit
992a60ed0d5e ("usb: typec: ucsi: register with power_supply class")
but this is not a system power supply.

As the power supply for a dGPU is only for powering devices connected
to dGPU, create a device property to indicate that the UCSI endpoint
is only for the scope of `POWER_SUPPLY_SCOPE_DEVICE`.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] power: supply: Use the scope of power supplies to tell if power is system supplied

The logic used for power_supply_is_system_supplied() counts all power
supplies and:
* If no power supplies found assumes AC
* If non-battery power supplies found uses online to determine AC/DC.
- If any are onlined, assumes AC
- Othewise DC.

This logic makes sense for desktop systems that don't export an ACPI
battery, but it fails once you include a dGPU that provides a UCSI
power supply on a desktop system without any other power supplies.

The dGPU by default doesn't have anything plugged in so it's 'offline'.
This makes power_supply_is_system_supplied() return 0 with a count of
1 meaning all drivers that use this get a wrong judgement.

To fix this case adjust the logic to also examine the scope of the
power supply. If the power supply is deemed a device power supply,
then don't count it.

Yes, that's correct.  I don't see a problem with the other patch going

Good find; the current logic should also break with a desktop PC
once a POWER_SUPPLY_SCOPE_DEVICE battery device is attached (e.g.
a HID device), because it increases the counter.

I suppose I can just apply this to my fixes branch since there is
no compile time dependency to the second patch?

Ok, I modified the commit message to also mention the HID issue and
applied it to power-supply's fixes branch.

This is not how we supply tags (and most of the maintainers prefer non-combined
ones, so two in this case instead of one).

The idea is that tag is supplied as a separate line, not mixed with any other
text.

All this is well written in Submitting Patches documentation, please refresh
your memories :-)

Why?! This might lead to the subtle mistakes going unnoticed during rebases.
Yes, it's quite unlikely, but it might be still possible to have the empty
entry in the middle of the array. Why should we shoot ourselves in the foot
if we can avoid it without any effort?

Hence I can say it's discouraged.

I tend to agree with Andy here, you should never be placing something after the
terminator entry and putting a comma there means a mistake /can/ happen.
I will pick up the tags and respin a v2 with this changed and patch 1 dropped
since it went through another tree.
