• Event handler invokes power supply change notifier
  

• which in-turn invokes registered power supply class call-back

same comments as for the btemp driver.

Static variable definitions never belong in a header file. If you want to share these between multiple drivers, put a single copy in one file and make the symbols extern (or even exported).

If they are used in only one driver, just put the tables into that driver. You probably want to make them 'const' as well.

static int __devinit ab8500_fg_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) { int i, irq; int ret = 0; struct abx500_bm_plat_data *plat_data = pdev->dev.platform_data;

• struct device_node *np = pdev->dev.of_node; struct ab8500_fg *di;

• di = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*di), GFP_KERNEL);

• if (!di) {

• dev_err(&pdev->dev, "%s no mem for ab8500_btemp\n", __func__);
  

• ret = -ENOMEM;
  

• goto err_no_mem;
  

• }

• if (np) {

• if (!plat_data) {

• 	if (!plat_data->fg) {

• 		dev_err(&pdev->dev,
  

• 			"%s no mem for pdata->fg\n",
  

• 			__func__);
  

• 		ret = -ENOMEM;

• }
  

• /* get battery specific platform data */
  

• ret = fg_of_probe(&pdev->dev, np, plat_data);

• 	devm_kfree(&pdev->dev, plat_data);

I think for this driver it makes more sense to put all the information into the struct ab8500_fg rather than having some of it in abx500_bm_plat_data, so you can skip the allocation part here. In case of static platform definitions, just copy the pointers from the platform data into the ab8500_fg data.
