[PATCH] power_supply: add watchdog and safety timer expiries under PROP_HEALTH_*

From: Ramakrishna Pallala
Date: Fri Nov 30 2012 - 04:42:48 EST


As most of the charger chips come with two kinds of safety features
related to timing.
1. Watchdog Timer (interms of seconds/mins)
2. Safety Timer (interms of hours)

This patch adds these to fault causes in POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_HEALTH_*
enums so that whenever there is either watchdog timeout or safety timer
timeout driver could notify the user space accurately about the fault
and will also be helpful for debug.
