πŸ’– ab8500_fg_check_capacity_limits πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes, the kernel one, the one with all the battery drama πŸ¦‹. Strap in, it's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic.


✨ NAME ✨

ab8500_fg_check_capacity_limits β€” check if capacity has changed πŸ‘€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ab8500_fg_check_capacity_limits (struct ab8500_fg *di , bool init
);

like. that's the whole thing. that's the function. slay πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • di β€” pointer to the ab8500_fg structure. yep, the fuel gauge struct itself, we love a pointer moment 🫢
  • init β€” a bool, and it literally means "capacity is allowed to go up in init mode". so during init, the capacity is permitted to, like, climb. growth era βœ¨πŸ“ˆ

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So what does it actually do? It checks whether the capacity β€” or the capacity limit β€” has changed, and then it notifies the system about it using the power_supply framework. that's it. that's the whole vibe check πŸ”‹πŸ’€

no cap, it's giving "small function, big responsibility". main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘

just so we're clear: it checks and notifies. it does not, like, invent new capacity out of nowhere. don't come for me πŸ™ˆ

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

Everything below is straight from the kernel file ./drivers/power/supply/ab8500_fg.c, plus the struct ab8500_fg_interrupts(9) and the whole friend group. go read them, they're all linked, it's a whole ecosystem 🌈⭐

like. that's the entire extended universe right there 😭πŸ”₯


okay that's the page!! and for the cute sign-off: this little gem lives in ./drivers/power/supply, it's dated October 2026, and it's printing out of the same Kernel API Manual as everything else. go forth and check those capacity limits, bestie πŸ’–πŸŽ€πŸ’œ
