How can it be already obsolete? What is a replacement for that driver?
I am relying on author's description here. Here is what Kconfig help says: "This driver adds support for the Smart Battery System. Depends on I2C (Device Drivers ---> I2C support). A "Smart Battery" is quite old and quite rare compared to today's ACPI "Control Method" battery." Note that "quite old and rare". Besides, the patch does not remove the driver, it just makes it not enabled in default build as not every box has an SBS. -- Dmitry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
