When the battery is dry and BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED is set,
we should check BATTERY_DISCHARGING to decide the power status.
If BATTERY_DISCHARGING is set, the power status is not charging.
Or the power status should be charging.

I think (BATTERY_DISCHARGING && BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED) is still
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING.
So, let's just report what the battery says and do:

               else if (ret & BATTERY_DISCHARGING)
                               val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING;

So we just ignore the special situation (BATTERY_DISCHARGING &&
BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED).
Isn't POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING a useful information?

The battery is discharging.  The fact that it is also reporting that
it is already "discharged" just seems premature.   I would expect to
only see NOT_CHARGING if completely discharged *and* not discharging.

I check the "Smart Battery Data Specification Revision 1.1".
And there are some words about FULLY_DISCHARGED.
"Discharge should be stopped soon."
"This status bit may be set prior to the
‘TERMINATE_DISCHARGE_ALARM’ as an early or first level warning of end of
battery charge."
It looks like the FULLY_DISCHARGED status is used to announce the
warning of battery charge and it is still discharging if there is no one
takes care of it.

Sure, it is in the sbs spec.  That is why the battery is setting that bit.
The problem isn't with what the battery is doing, the issue here is in
how the kernel is interpreting it, and what it is choosing to expose
to user space.
It looks like the current property interface is not able to accurately
report the full status of the battery: "discharging & nearly empty".
Instead, IMHO, the closest it can report is that it is still
discharging (== POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING), and use some other
mechanism to report how much charge is actually left.
Re-using "POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING" to report "discharging &
nearly empty" seems arbitrary, wrong and unnecessary.

Of course, this bit of code is very old, as it was added in the
original TI BQ20Z75 gas gauge patch:

commit d3ab61ecbab2b8950108b3541bc9eda515d605e0
Author: Rhyland Klein <rklein@nvidia.com>
Date:   Tue Sep 21 15:33:55 2010 -0700
    bq20z75: Add support for more power supply properties

So, it would be nice if an sbs battery expert could chime in here,
since I don't really know what I am talking about, I am just
interpreting #define names.

The only difference I see in the patch above is that in the case where
DISCHARGING isn't set, it won't check FULL_DISCHARGE. Nothing seems to
be changed in the case where FULL_DISCHARGE & DISCHARGING are set.

I think in the case that both flags are set, it makes sense to
prioritize the FULL_DISCHARGE, since as quote above actually starts with
"FULLY_DISCHARGED bit is set when the Smart Battery determines that it
has supplied all the charge it can." I think at the point where both
statuses are reported, the fact that it is still DISCHARGING doesn't
matter. The code as is handles this in that manner, so I don't see a
need to change it.

If battery is dry(FULLY_DISCHARGED) and is charging(No
BATTERY_DISCHARGING) by AC at the same time,
I think it is better to mark as POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_CHARGING.
Is this right?

Hmm. I can see where you patch would address that situation. From the
spec, it looks like its expected that the flags should look something
like this:

capacity (in the course of running from fully_charged to dry to
recharging...)

full: FULLY_CHARGED
<unplug>
high->low: DISCHARGING
~0%: (DISCHARGING & FULLY_DISCHARGED)
<plug in>
->~20%: FULLY_DISCHARGED
>~20%: <nothing> = charging

From this understanding, it seems like we can't expect FULLY_DISCHARGED
to ever be the only flag, nor can we expect it to go away when the
system is initially plugged in. In light of this, I can see why your
patch is preferable to the existing code, as the existing code could
imply that the system is either still near 0% when it is in fact
charging. Of course, ideally the status returned would be "LOW BUT
CHARGING" but I can see how CHARGING seems like a better option.

I think this patch would be fine if we wanted to cover that case, though
if we do merge this, we should probably flush out the patch description
better to clarify why we have to treat FULLY_DISCHARGED as only
applicable while DISCHARGING. This, IMHO, isn't because the
FULLY_DISCHARGED flag comes on early, but rather because it doesn't turn
off until ~20%.

If I revise the description in this way(using your clear explanation):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battery capacity changing course is like this:

full: BATTERY_FULLY_CHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_FULL
<unplug AC>
high->low: BATTERY_DISCHARGING => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING
~0%: DISCHARGING & FULLY_DISCHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING
<plug in AC>
0%~20%: FULLY_DISCHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_CHARGING
20%~: No flag => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_CHARGING

For now, it is not exactly right to show the status as
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING when the battery is dry
(FULLY_DISCHARGED) and AC is plugged in.
Although the battery is in a low level, system works fine with the AC
charging.
It is better to say that the battery is charging.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

How about this?
By the way, should I also revise the title?

Sounds good.

well, since the case this is specifically addressing is more to do with
charging when very low than being dry, it would probably make sense to
change it to "sbs-battery: fix power status when battery charging near
dry" or something like that.

POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING is used for AC connected, but
battery not charging (e.g. because battery temperature is out
of acceptable range). If you are discharging use
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING.

You should just ignore the FULLY_DISCHARGED bit in the status
property. If you don't want to loose the information about fully
discharged battery add POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL, which maps:

BATTERY_FULLY_CHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_FULL
FULLY_DISCHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_CRITICAL
otherwise => POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_NORMAL

Oops.
It looks like I misunderstand POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING.
As Daniel said before, we could just ignore FULLY_DISCHARGED.

So change like the

sbs-battery: fix power status when battery charging near
dry

POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING is used for AC connected, but
battery not charging (e.g. because battery temperature is out
of acceptable range).

When battery is charging near dry and BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED is set,
it is wrong to set as POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING.
Just use BATTERY_DISCHARGING to decide the power supply status is
discharging or charging.

                if (ret & BATTERY_FULL_CHARGED)
                        val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_FULL;
-               else if (ret & BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED)
-                       val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING;
                else if (ret & BATTERY_DISCHARGING)
                        val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING;

Yes, that looks fine. Can you send this correctly formated for git?
