The Battery Type Indicator (BTI) resistor is a resistor mounted
between a special terminal on the battery and ground. By sending
a fixed current (such as 7mA) through this resistor and measuring
the voltage over it, the resistance can be determined, and this
verifies the battery type.
Typical side view of the battery:

GND BTI +3.8V
Typical example of the electrical layout:
+3.8 V BTI

GND GND
By verifying this resistance before attempting to charge the
battery we add an additional level of security.
In some systems this is used for plug-and-play of batteries with
different capacity. In other cases, this is merely used to verify
that the right type of battery is connected, if several batteries
have the same physical shape and can be plugged into the same
slot. Sometimes this is just a surplus security mechanism.
Nokia and Samsung among many other vendors are known to use these
BTI resistors.
Add the BTI properties to struct power_supply_battery_info and
switch the AB8500 charger code over to using it.

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.
