Arvid Norlander 89655fbb39 platform/x86: Battery charge mode in toshiba_acpi (internals)
This commit adds the internal functions to control the Toshiba laptop.

Unlike for example ThinkPads where this control is granular here it is
just off/on. When off it charges to 100%. When on it charges to about 80%.

Controlling this setting is done via HCI register 0x00ba. Setting to value
1 will result in limiting the charing to 80% of the battery capacity,
while setting it to 0 will allow charging to 100%.

Reading the current state is a bit weird, and needs a 1 set in the last
position of the query for whatever reason. In addition, the read may
return 0x8d20 (Data not available) rarely, so a retry mechanism is needed.

According to the Windows program used to control the feature the setting
will not take effect until the battery has been discharged to around 50%.
However, in my testing it takes effect as soon as the charge drops below
80%. On Windows Toshiba branded this feature as "Eco charging".

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.
