The isl12022 has a built-in support for monitoring the voltage of the
backup battery, and setting bits in the status register when that
voltage drops below two predetermined levels (usually 85% and 75% of
the nominal voltage). However, since it can operate at wide range of
battery voltages (2.5V - 5.5V), one must configure those trip levels
according to which battery is used on a given board.
Add bindings for defining these two trip levels. While the register
and bit names suggest that they should correspond to 85% and 75% of
the nominal battery voltage, the data sheet also says
There are total of 7 levels that could be selected for the first
alarm. Any of the of levels could be selected as the first alarm
with no reference as to nominal Battery voltage level.
Hence this provides the hardware designer the ability to choose values
based on the discharge characteristics of the battery chosen for the
given product, rather than just having one battery-microvolt property
and having the driver choose levels close to 0.85/0.75 times that.
