ab8500_char...e_to_restart(9)

okay so bestie, we’re looking at ab8500_char...e_to_restart(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, it’s a whole charging-algorithm moment, and yes, we’re gonna get through it together 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ab8500_chargalg_time_to_restart — time to restart CC/CV charging? 👀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ab8500_chargalg_time_to_restart (struct ab8500_chargalg *di );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• di — charging algorithm state. That’s the whole bestie right there 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This checks if the voltage or capacity of the battery has fallen so low that we need to restart the CC/CV charge cycle. Like, the battery is giving “please start over” energy 😭🔁
