ab8500_charg...r_connection(9)

💖 ab8500_chargalg_check_charger_connection(9) — aka "the charger connection vibe check" 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ we're deep in the ab8500 charge algorithm source today and honestly? it's giving electrical engineering main character energy 🔥

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ab8500_chargalg_check_charger_connection — literally just Check charger connection change 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ab8500_chargalg_check_charger_connection (struct ab8500_chargalg *di
);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• di — pointer to the ab8500_chargalg structure 💅 that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕ this function will check if there is a change in the charger connection and change charge state accordingly. like, it peeks at what's plugged in and goes "oh? something's different?" and updates the state to match 💫

and the iconic rule: AC has precedence over USB 👑 no cap, AC wins every time, it's giving favorite child energy. USB could never 😭

ngl bestie, that's a lot of cross-references — the whole charger algorithm family is here and they're all slaying in different ways 💅 iykyk

okay that's the page!! 🎀 this lil masterpiece lives in ./drivers/power/supply and it's dated October 2026, so yeah — future icon behavior fr fr 🌈✨ bye bestie, go check that charger connection 💖
