[PATCH 0/6] power: supply: Change usb_types from an array into a bitmask

Hi All,

When support for the "charge_behaviour" property was added the list of
available values was made a bitmask in power_supply_desc.

"usb_types" is very similar in that:
1. It is an enum
2. The list of available values is stored in power_supply_desc
3. When shown it shows all available values, with the active one surrounded
   by square brackets.

But "usb_types" uses an array with valid enum values instead of a bitmask.
This uses more memory then the bitmap approach and it makes it impossible
to have a shared generic show() function for properties which show
available values, with the active one surrounded by square brackets.

This patch-set moves "usb_types" over to a bitmask in power_supply_desc
to indicate the available values.

Patches 1 - 3:

It turns out that the ucs1002-power driver contained a surprise in that
it supports writing to "usb_type" even though the ABI doc says it is
read-only. Since we cannot break shipped userspace API, the ship has sailed
on this one. The first patch documents that writing "usb_type" is allowed,
but only for power-supply devices which provide USB power rather then
consume it.

Enum properties accept writing the FOO_TEXT[] string values, passing
the enum value matching the FOO_TEXT entry to set_property(), the second
patch adjusts ucs1002_set_usb_type() to directly accept enum values.

The rt9467 driver was another driver which allowed writing to "usb_type"
but there the use made no sense, so it is simply dropped.

Patches 4 - 6:

These patches implement the actual moving of usb_types to a bitmask.

Patch 6 is a bit of a bigbang patch moving all drivers over in one go,
touching a couple of drivers outside drivers/power/supply: 1 in
drivers/extcon/ 1 in drivers/phy/ and 5 in drivers/usb/typec/ since
the changes outside of drivers/power/supply are small I've chosen to
make all the changes in one go rather then have some sort of
intermediate state where both ways are supported.

For merging this I believe it would be best for an immutable branch / tag
to be created on the linux-power-supply tree and then send a pull-request
to the extcon, phy and usb-typec maintainers to merge the tag.

extcon, phy and typec maintainers can you please give your Acked-by for
patch 6/6 for merging these changes through the linux-power-supply tree?

This set is based on top of the latest linux-power-supply/for-next.

Regards,

Hans
