I'd still prefer batteries to go into /sys/class/battery/... they are really different from lm78-style voltage sensor and I'd not expect battery applet to understand all the fields "normal" hwmon exports. But conventions developed by hwmon group look sane and usable. Actually I do not see "hwmon infrastructure" to exist. Every driver just uses sysfs directly. I'm not sure that the best option -- "input-like" infrastructure can make drivers even shorter -- but perhaps just directly using sysfs is best for simple task like a battery? Jean, any ideas?
