What does not work is setting force-discharge for both batteries at the same time. This makes somewhat sense as on a physical level probably only one of them can be used at a time. Mark Pearson: Could you confirm that this is the intended behaviour? In my changes queued for v2 of the series[0] I added validation of the written settings and an EIO is now reported if the settings were not applied, so this should help userspace handle this situatoin. The plan is to submit v2 after the first round of review for the core PM changes.
