✨ NAME ✨

ab8500_fg_update_cap_scalers — capacity scaling, periodt. this is the function whose whole personality is keeping the capacity scalers correct 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ab8500_fg_update_cap_scalers (struct ab8500_fg *di );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. it returns void (nothing, nada, zero — she doesn't do returns) and takes exactly one argument, no cap 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • di — pointer to the ab8500_fg structure 💅 lowkey the most important girl in the room. no di, no scalers, no capacity. it's giving "main character energy" fr fr

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — you call this function when the state changes from charge <-> discharge, and its whole job is to update the capacity scalers. that's the description. the entire description. not me expecting a whole essay and getting a haiku 😭

so like, when your battery flips between "charging bestie 💖" and "discharging, we're dying 😭", this is the girl you ring up so the scalers get refreshed. icon behavior, no notes ✨
