It is a driver connecting some battery parameters with measurements provided by the twl4030-madc to present a /sys/class/power_supply node for the battery with a coarse estimate for the charging level. So maybe the best wording is that it is a battery-driver assuming a twl4030-madc providing raw measurements (voltage, charging). Therefore it could as well be battery-twl4030-madc. > >> + - capacity-uah : battery capacity in uAh >> + - ti,volt-to-capacity-charging-map : list of voltage(mV):level(%) values >> + for charging calibration (see example) >> + - ti,volt-to-capacity-discharging-map : list of voltage(mV):level(%) values >> + for discharging calibration (see example) > > These seem like properties of the battery independent of the > battery/charging controller which is the twl4030.

For smart batteries there are completely independent mechanisms like I2C and HDQ/1-wire communication with fuel gauge chips (e.g. b27xxx). Those do not need such battery properties because they are stored in EEPROMs within these chips. So all this is a quite special solution just for those handful of board that have no smart battery and use exactly this twl4030 chip. It is not intended to become a generic charging/fuel solution. Just make it work with DT (it worked with platform_data since ~3.12).
