bq257xx_set_...ger_property(9)

💖 bq257xx_set_charger_property(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for bq257xx_set_charger_property, and yes the title got squished to bq257xx_set_...ger_property(9) in the header because manpage headers are dramatic like that. anyway. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

bq257xx_set_charger_property — Set a power supply property. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bq257xx_set_charger_property (struct power_supply *psy , enum
       power_supply_property prop , const union power_supply_propval *val );

literally the whole signature, no cap. 📎

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• psy — the power supply device. your main character, the thing we're actually talking to 🔌
• prop — the power supply property we're setting. which knob are we turning, bestie?
• val — the value we want that property to be. the actual number. the tea ☕

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does this thing do? it handles requests to set power supply properties — the big ones being:

• input current limit
• constant charge voltage
• constant charge current

and then it routes the request to the chip-specific implementation. so like, this function is the front desk, and the actual chip-specific code is the specialist in the back office doing the real work. it's giving delegation. it's giving manager energy. iconic honestly 👑

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• returns 0 on success 🎉
• returns -EINVAL if the property is not supported 💀

fr fr bestie, if you get -EINVAL back it's not a bug, it's the kernel politely telling you "that property? never heard of her." 🙈

and that's the page!! sign-off time 🎀✨ this little beauty lives in ./drivers/power/supply, it's dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual — the header up top still calls it bq257xx_set_...ger_property(9) because the abbreviation ate the middle of the name and honestly? we respect it. byeee bestie, go set some properties 💅🔥🍓
