Make sure you have loaded some usb gadget. Without it battery 
charging via dedicated wallcharger (and probably also usb host 
charger) does not working. g_nokia should be OK.

Try also compiling kernel with CONFIG_USB_GADGET_VBUS_DRAW=500

Also for charger autodetection you need to have loaded 
isp1704_charer.ko module (or compiled into kernel).

And make sure that isp1704_charger is loaded before module 
bq2415x_charger (there is some probe defer, no idea if it works 
as excepted).

You can try to write "host" to sysfs entry "mode". Another value 
is "dedicated" for wallchargers.

Message is print every time when somebody try to read those 
properties. I think that printing it only one time should be 
enough. Change to WARN_ONCE?

Also design capacity from bq27x00_battery is incorrect (2056) on 
all N900 devices. It comes from some EEPROM memory stored in N900 
and without HW hacking it is not possible to rewrite.

I would suggest to add support for bq27x00_battery module to do 
not report design capacity. Maybe in N900 DT file can be property 
which tell driver to ignore it.
