Currently the sign for CURRENT_NOW and CURRENT_AVG is a bit of a mess. There are basically 3 different ways battery fuel gauges report the current: 1. uses negative values for discharging and positive values for charging 2. uses positive values for discharging and negative values for discharging (opposit of 1) 3. only uses positive values As a result userspace currently cannot use the sign at all in a generic way. Let's solve the issue by documenting a canonical way for reporting the data and ensure new drivers follow this way. Then existing drivers can be fixed on a case-by-case basis. The 'negative value = battery discharging' has been choosen, since there are only very few drivers doing it the other way around. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Reichel <sebastian.reichel@collabora.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
