I have some questions here. Are there any cases in the wild, when userspace selects the charging type (apart from testing purposes)? And if yes, how is userspace supposed to detect/decide when to switch from trickle to fast? I have the strange feeling that we're adding properties that will never be used... Other people's opinions are welcomed too. laurentiu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
