      platform/x86:dell-laptop: Add knobs to change battery charge settings · ab58016c
      Andres Salomon authored
      The Dell BIOS allows you to set custom charging modes, which is useful
      in particular for extending battery life. This adds support for tweaking
      those various settings from Linux via sysfs knobs. One might, for
      example, have their laptop plugged into power at their desk the vast
      majority of the time and choose fairly aggressive battery-saving
      settings (eg, only charging once the battery drops below 50% and only
      charging up to 80%). When leaving for a trip, it would be more useful
      to instead switch to a standard charging mode (top off at 100%, charge
      any time power is available). Rebooting into the BIOS to change the
      charging mode settings is a hassle.
      
      For the Custom charging type mode, we reuse the common
      charge_control_{start,end}_threshold sysfs power_supply entries. The
      BIOS also has a bunch of other charging modes (with varying levels of
      usefulness), so this also adds a 'charge_type' sysfs entry that maps the
      standard values to Dell-specific ones.
      
      This work is based on a patch by Perry Yuan <perry_yuan@dell.com> and
      Limonciello Mario <Mario_Limonciello@Dell.com> submitted back in 2020.

      s/charge_type/charge_types/ since charge_types_show() used the new
      charge_types power-supply property output format.
