Subject: RE: [PATCH] extcon: Add EXTCON_BATTERY type for battery presence
Sorry I didn't describe it in detail enough
we have a standalone driver to do battery detection, this driver is separate from power_supply device driver
and not just report uevet to userspace, we also need a method to notify other kernel driver "battery removal event"
it will be better if using same battery detection driver to support different platform charger driver.
by the way, swappable battery usually have 4 pin connector (power / ground / ID / THERMAL)
you can find some phone that support battery swap feature (like Samsung xcover 6 pro)

Actually, battery is not external connector. The power_supply subsystem already provided the POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_PRESENT for the battery present. You have to develop the power_supply device driver and then use power_supply_changed() to send the uevent to user-space.
