Hmm, you have a point here :) So, AIUI there are 2 options: 1. charger driver polls the battery driver every n (60?) seconds. 2. battery driver sends PSY_EVENT_PROP_CHANGED on every degree up or down In both cases if the temperature is outside of the safe margins, the charging should be stopped. 2 seems more generic to me, but as rx51-battery is missing the functionality to send events on temperature change, I guess 1 will be easier to implement. And I think there should be some method (sysfs entry?, /dev/bqxxx opened?) to tell the charger driver to stop polling the battery driver once (and if) the userspace has started to take care of the battery temperature - makes no sense to duplicate the checks IMO. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
