💅 ab8500_charger_check_hw_failure_work — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so real quick, this page is ab8500_charg...failure_work(9) in the Kernel API Manual (yes the title header is literally truncated like that, it's giving "ran out of character budget" energy but that's just how it's printed, don't come for me 🫶). The actual function we're talking about is ab8500_charger_check_hw_failure_work and she is a whole vibe. Let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

ab8500_charger_check_hw_failure_work — check main charger failure 💀🔌

like, the name is the whole plot. it checks the main charger for failure. that's the post.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ab8500_charger_check_hw_failure_work (struct work_struct *work );

no return value, she's void, she just does her thing and leaves. main character energy fr fr 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • work — pointer to the work_struct structure 🦋

that's it. one (1) argument. a pointer to a work_struct. lowkey the easiest signature you'll read all week, ngl.

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So basically this is a work queue function for checking the main charger status ✨

She's the little worker that gets queued up and, when it's her turn to run, she goes and checks on the main charger. That's the entire job description, bestie. Not complicated, but she's doing it with her whole chest. 💖

no cap, that is genuinely the whole DESCRIPTION section in the original — this page is short and sweet and we respect her for it. 🍓

First up, the actual kernel file she lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/power/supply/ab8500_charger.c

Then the full squad, in order, no skipping, because every single one of these is a real reference and we do not cut the guest list 🙈:

like i said. the whole friend group. all of them. go read them, they're all in ./drivers/power/supply/ab8500_charger.c with her 💖

and that's the page!! 🫶✨ this one came out of ./drivers/power/supply and is dated October 2026 — so yeah, mark your calendar bestie, she's from the future (or at least the docs are). stay charged, check your main charger, and slay 💅🔋🎀
