[PATCH 1/1] battery: only refresh the sysfs files when pertinant information changes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We only need to regenerate the sysfs files when the capacity units
change, avoid the update otherwise.

	Based on Matthew's feedback here is a version which optimises
	based on the power_unit field as returned from the battery info.
	Could someone who suffers from this issue please test this out
	and report back.  Thanks.
