Some (USB) charger ICs have variants with USB D+ and D- pins to do their own builtin charger-type detection, like e.g. the bq24190 and bq25890 and also variants which lack this functionality, e.g. the bq24192 and bq25892. In case the charger-type; and thus the input-current-limit detection is done outside the charger IC then we need some way to communicate this to the charger IC. In the past extcon was used for this, but if the external detection does e.g. full USB PD negotiation then the extcon cable-types do not convey enough information. For these setups it was decided to model the external charging "brick" and the parameters negotiated with it as a power_supply class-device itself; and power_supply_set_input_current_limit_from_supplier() was introduced to allow drivers to get the input-current-limit this way. But in some cases psy drivers may want to know other properties, e.g. the bq25892 can do "quick-charge" negotiation by pulsing its current draw, but this should only be done if the usb_type psy-property of its supplier is set to DCP (and device-properties indicate the board allows higher voltages). Instead of adding extra helper functions for each property which a psy-driver wants to query from its supplier, refactor power_supply_set_input_current_limit_from_supplier() into a more generic power_supply_get_property_from_supplier() function.

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.
