My Acer Aspire 8930G laptop reports the battery current as a 16-bit signed negative when it is charging. It also reports it as 0x10000 when the current is 0. This patch adds a quirk for this which takes the absolute value of the reported current cast to an s16. This is a DSDT bug present in the latest BIOS revision (the EC register is 16 bits signed and the DSDT attempts to take the 16-bit two's complement of this, which works for discharge but not charge. It also breaks zero values because a 32-bit register is used and the high bits aren't thrown away). I've enabled this for all Acer systems which report in mA units. This should be safe since it won't break compliant systems unless they report a current above 32A, which is insane.
Could you please use bitfields? Please take a look at drivers/acpi/ec.c as an example. Thanks, Alex. -- 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
