Hi everyone (Thinkpad-ACPI, ACPI, and Power supply maintainers), some might know that I presented a patch set adding support for charge thresholds to thinkpad_acpi about 1.5 years ago. Back then, one of the major rejections was that the functionality for setting charge thresholds should be integrated into the power supply stack somehow. I did not know who to contact back then, but know I re-read MAINTAINERS and found all your addresses, so I give it a second try. One issue with just integrating it in the current battery directories would be that ThinkPads are able to set charge thresholds for batteries that are currently not inserted. Back then I wrote: > The next step is to integrate this properly with power supply > and/or acpi battery. One way would be to add additional power > supply properties and then add get/set_property() pointers to > the acpi battery which it can fall back to if it does not support > a requested property (and we would locate the ACPI battery and > set those pointers to new thinkpad_acpi functions). If you, the ACPI and power supply people, have any preferred way (or any idea at all how) to proceed, that would be useful, so I don't start working on it again, and then somebody does not like it.
