Lenovo ThinkPad systems support the prevention of
battery charging via a manual override called Inhibit Charge.

This patch adds support for that attribute and exposes it via the
battery ACPI driver in the generic location:

/sys/class/power_supply/BATX/inhibit_charge

I'm not sure, but maybe `if (value < 2)` is better here?

While you are right in principle, the whole driver is so old and uses
this style. So, for such cases we, as maintainers, prefer less
deviation work, i.e. keeping the
style is a good thing to do.

Since it's about integer-as-a-boolean, test for bit 0 would be
sufficient, i.e. ~BIT(0). Though, I find this form not so readable
since the input comes actually from the user.
It would be nice to have just kstrtobool() called instead for such
options, but see above. It would need a (huge) refactoring of the
driver first.

Do we know what is in the other bits?  If so, please document the ACPI
method using a comment somewhere in the driver code, like you did for
SET_INHIBIT.

Much on the driver doesn't, because it is _OLD_.  But yeah, it is
preferrable to fix this as we add code, so it would be good to have all
new (and modified) comments switched to modern kernel style.

Indeed... with a comment that says 0 = main battery, 1 = extra/dock
battery or something.

I think the exisiting validation is just fine. Anything other is
cosmetic and obfuscation IMO.

That's what I did, follow the driver style.

That seems uncessarily complicated. Whats wrong with LT and GT
operators?

I agree.

That needs a whole lot of refactoring for no real functional benefit.

I got the specs for the methods in a Lenovo doc I was told not to share
around, including information in it.

So what do you people want me to do? Should I fix the comments or leave
as-is?

That seems like obfuscation to me, this way its clear that it must be
either 1 or 0. And inhibiting is set per-battery so 1 is on and not
battery 1.

Hmm, ok. Please send to me in private the email address of the person I
should ask for the documentation since you cannot distribute the
documentation itself.  This isn't the first time it happened.

The usual rule I follow is: document what is either already being used
in the driver or which very likely wil have to be used in the driver.
Unrelated stuff (e.g. for some unrelated functionality the driver does
not implement) doesn't have to be documented.

In this case, we need to at least know what bits need to be RMW, or
always-zero when calling SET_* methods...

Since the subsystem maintainer said it should be kept as-is, and I don't
much care, please keep it as-is.  It won't matter for my driver
maintainer ack :-)

Hmm, yes I got that wrong. "battery" should use 0 <= battery <2 for
checking (if needed), but value can only be 0 or 1.

I'd personally have used a bitmask test for "value", ensuring all other
bits are zero, though.  But that's just a matter of taste and I don't
think any of the choices (including the one you used) are "bad taste",
so all of them are fine as far as I am concerned.
