This patch series adds support for specifying charging thresholds,
forcing a battery to discharge, and inhibiting charging, on ThinkPad
Laptops using Sandy Bridge or newer processors.
The first two patches should be stable now, the third one does not work on
my test system (but I'd appreciate if anyone with something other than an
X230 tests it).
The inhibit charging part is a bit unprecise, and I can obviously not test
that -1 really means permanently, but I assume it does. I don't know whether
this one should be merged.
Changes since the RFC PATCH:
- Define batteries more dynamically instead of statically using large
macros. Added support for up to 3 batteries, unsupported ones will not
be exported.
- Added 3 more new patches with more features
