Do let me know if there are some important use cases for these so I can go back to the FW team and discuss supporting them properly.
The important use cases are force discharge and inhibit charge.
These at present are dealt with using tpacpi-bat, which relies on (out of tree) acpi_call.
See also your previous reply.
I can see how those can be useful in certain circumstances.
I can also understand how Lenovo does not want these to be
available by default everywhere.
I think a good compromise would be to add a bool module option
which defaults to false to enable these.
Assuming Mark is ok with that, this is still blocked on agreeing
on standard power_supply class property names for these 2 features.
I'm OK with it. Thanks :)
