Hi!

Droid 4 has same problem as N900: it is often neccessary to manually
tweak current draw from USB, for example when using thin charging cable.

N900 creates unique attribute by hand, but I believe
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_INPUT_CURRENT_LIMIT looks suitable. (Should N900 be
converted?)

Comments? Would the patch be acceptable after fixing whitespace?

Best regards,

I'm not very knowledgeable on batteries - but the patch looks good to me.

Could you perhaps explain what exactly this fixes? I've seen some
interesting behaviour when plugging a Droid 4 into a PC (or wall
charger, really): the led blinks for a few seconds until it stabilises.

And then there's the issue where, once the battery is full, it will
switch between charging and discharging every few seconds/minutes.

Cheers,
Merlijn

Looks OK to me. Until we have better charger vs host vs usb3 charging hub
detection in place this seems like a good thing to do.

With this patch, we'll limit charging to 0.5A by default, unless
overrident by user. So you should not see green LED blinking, unless
you manually select bigger current than charger can handle.

This will definitely not help with this one.

FYI, I'm cleaning up the pending charger and battery patches to send out
for review. So that includes my earlier RFC battery status patches, and
Spinal's additions, and this patch. It will likely be several days before
I have the series ready for posting though.

Thanks for heads-up.

I had issue when I could not charge _empty_ droid4 battery from
powerbank. Green light was blinking and current was going up and down
but never stabilized. I thought I had dmesg from that but can't find
it now :-(.

Plus, I left D4 on charger overnight, and found battery empty in the
morning. It apparently charged in the evening but then discharged.

Best regards,
