💅 ab8500_chargalg_stop_charging — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so this page is ab8500_char...top_charging(9) (yes the title got chopped, that's just how the man page abbreviates it, don't come for her 💀) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual. she's a tiny function but she is so important. let's get into it ✨

🛑 NAME

ab8500_chargalg_stop_charging — literally the "stop charging" function. that's it, that's the whole vibe. when the battery needs a break, this is the girl they call 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS

void ab8500_chargalg_stop_charging (struct ab8500_chargalg *di );

returns void, so no little return value to babysit, she just does the thing and leaves 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS

  • di — pointer to the ab8500_chargalg structure. that's your chargal struct bestie, hand her over and she'll take it from there 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION

so here's the tea: this function gets called from any state where charging should be stopped. like, wherever the chargal algorithm decides "ok we're done here", it rings up ab8500_chargalg_stop_charging and she handles it 🔥

once she's in, all charging is disabled — no cap, everything charging-related goes quiet 🙈 — and all status parameters and timers are changed accordingly so the rest of the system actually knows what just happened. she doesn't just flip a switch and dip, she updates the whole situation ✨ periodt.
