On Galaxy S3 (i9300/i9305), which has the max17047 fuel gauge and no
current sense resistor (rsns), the RepSOC register does not provide an
accurate state of charge value. The reported value is wrong, and does
not change over time. VFSOC however, which uses the voltage fuel gauge
to determine the state of charge, always shows an accurate value.

At least one max170xx driver, found in Asus' Z00D kernel [1], chooses
how to get the capacity based on if current sense is available or not.
Lets change the mainline driver to match the Asus Z00D driver's
behaviour and thereby fix so that correct state of charge values are
obtained on Galaxy S3.

Thanks for the patch. I found also my comments to Wolfgang's patch in
2016, which you resolve here but I have more. :)

I think my previous message about current sense are not correct. What is
important is whether ModelGauge is being used/configured. For example
none of DT platforms support it but ACPI might.

There is incoming patch around it:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/5702731.UytLkSCjyO@pliszka/

If you switch to VSSoc, I think you need to modify the SOC Alert Config
in MiscCFG register (bits 0:1 to 0x1). Otherwise the alerts will be
generated on different value.

Different topic:
When touching Exynos-based boards (like Galaxy S3), please Cc me as
well, even if I don't pop up in the maintainers.

For max17042 we need to Cc broader group of users, for example using it
in ACPI platforms. The best is to pick the contributors.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

So, 0x1 should correspond to AvSOC (i.e. non-filtered RepSOC), while
right now we write 0x3 (VFSOC) to MiscCFG for devices without current
sense [1]. Could you elaborate on why AvSOC should be used for alert
if we use VFSOC to get PROP_CAPACITY?

On this particular device it does not seem to make a difference what I
use for the SOC alert, the alert triggers all the time in any case
since RepSOC does not give an accurate value. Supposedly this happens
because ModelGauge configuration is incomplete, as you said. Looking
at the registers used by the ModelGauge it seems that only the
"characterization table" at 0x80 - 0xAF is missing. The rest (FullCap,
DesignCap, ICHGTerm, ..) are set to the same values as with vendor
kernel.

I meant that same measurement should be used for both: for PROP_CAPACITY
and for alerts.

I double checked the driver and your change is actually aligned with it.
If !enable_current_sense, the driver will set MiscCFG to 0x3 to use
VFSOC for alerts. I think you can ignore that part of my comment before.

However still remaining issue is that switching to VFSoc should happen
not only if !enable_current_sense but also if ModelGauge m3 is not
configured.

Are you sure? I could not find setting of these (e.g.
MAX17042_FullCAP/config->fullcap) for a DT platform.

After explanation and double-checking of driver this makes sense. The
driver already uses VFSoc for alerts (MiscCFG register) if
!enable_current_sense.

Fixes: 359ab9f5b154 ("power_supply: Add MAX17042 Fuel Gauge Driver")
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

These could be added when applying but maybe Sebastian wants a v2 with it?

Makes sense, thanks!

If I manage to get ModelGauge working on this device in the future I
can address this.

Actually, it seems that the registers are set to the default Power-On
Reset (POR) values in both mainline and vendor kernel.  Printing all
the Cell Characterization Information Registers (given in Table 1 in
the MAX17047 datasheet) with something like:

    u32 tmp;
    regmap_read(chip->regmap, MAX17042_FullCAP, &tmp);
    dev_err(&chip->client->dev, "Fullcap %04x\n", tmp);

in both vendor kernel and mainline gives the same values:

    Fullcap    07d0
    DesignCap  07d0
    ICHGTerm   03c0
    FullCapNom 0667
    RCOMP0     0065
    Iavg_empty 0780
    TempCo     0930
    QRes 00    1e2f
    QRes 10    1e00
    QRes 20    1306
    QRes 30    0c00

and these are the POR values (seen in Table 5 of the datasheet).  Only
difference between vendor and mainline is that MAX17042_MODELChrTbl is
all zeros on mainline, while with vendor kernel I get something like:

    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
    00 50 05 c0 a0 85 a9 f1 e0 5d 84 f1 01 00 00 00

and the values here change over time as well, as the algorithm learns
about the battery(?).

Maybe this means that the ModelGauge algorithm is not configured with
vendor kernel either, and that a full battery characterization
(described in [1]) is needed if we are to use ModelGauge.  ModelGauge
is also not mentioned in the vendor kernel driver for max17047 [2],
but it is mentioned in the very similar max17042 [3] and max17050
drivers in the same kernel.

I can send a v2 with updated commit message to mention that we already
use VFSOC for the alert on this device, and sneak in a patch to fix a
typo in Iavg_empty parameter.
