The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors the Trezor firmware's battery fuel-gauge code so it can support multiple battery types in the future. It replaces hard-coded battery model constants with a runtime-selected structure based on a battery_type value read from device OTP memory. There is no obvious security bug in the diff, but the change introduces a new hardware-derived input (battery_type) into power-management calculations. Currently only battery type 0 is handled, and any unknown type falls back to the same default model.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. As a defensive measure, when additional battery models are added, validate battery_type_is_valid in battery_model_init() and ensure unknown/invalid battery types trigger a safe fallback or error state rather than silently using model 0. Review that future battery model data files cannot be selected based on attacker-influenced input.

Security signals we found

01

New hardware-derived input (battery_type from OTP) now influences power-management state

02

Refactor from compile-time constants to runtime model selection

03

Added early-return guard for uninitialized driver in pm_compensate_fuel_gauge

04

No explicit validation of battery_type_is_valid before model selection

05

Default fallback to battery type 0 for any unrecognized value
