+ * struct power_supply_maintenance_charge_table - setting for maintenace charging
+ * @charge_current_max_ua: maintenance charging current that is used to keep
+ * the charge of the battery full as current is consumed after full charging.
+ * The corresponding charge_voltage_max_uv is used as a safeguard: when we
+ * reach this voltage the maintenance charging current is turned off. It is
+ * turned back on if we fall below this voltage.
+ * @charge_voltage_max_uv: maintenance charging voltage that is usually a bit
+ * lower than the constant_charge_voltage_max_uv. We can apply this settings
+ * charge_current_max_ua until we get back up to this voltage.
+ * @safety_timer_minutes: maintenance charging safety timer, with an expiry
+ * time in minutes. We will only use maintenance charging in this setting
+ * for a certain amount of time, then we will first move to the next
+ * maintenance charge current and voltage pair in respective array and wait
+ * for the next safety timer timeout, or, if we reached the last maintencance
+ * charging setting, disable charging until we reach
+ * charge_restart_voltage_uv and restart ordinary CC/CV charging from there.
+ * These timers should be chosen to align with the typical discharge curve
+ * for the battery.
+ *
+ * When the main CC/CV charging is complete the battery can optionally be
+ * maintenance charged at the voltages from this table: a table of settings is
+ * traversed using a slightly lower current and voltage than what is used for
+ * CC/CV charging. The maintenance charging will for safety reasons not go on
+ * indefinately: we lower the current and voltage with successive maintenance
+ * settings, then disable charging completely after we reach the last one,
+ * and after that we do not restart charging until we reach
+ * charge_restart_voltage_uv (see struct power_supply_battery_info) and restart
+ * ordinary CC/CV charging from there.
+ *
+ * As an example, a Samsung EB425161LA Lithium-Ion battery is CC/CV charged
+ * at 900mA to 4340mV, then maintenance charged at 600mA and 4150mV for
+ * 60 hours, then maintenance charged at 600mA and 4100mV for 200 hours.
+ * After this the charge cycle is restarted waiting for
+ * charge_restart_voltage_uv.
+ *
+ * For most mobile electronics this type of maintenance charging is enough for
+ * the user to disconnect the device and make use of it before both maintenance
+ * charging cycles are complete.
