Changing charge_full_design seems really odd - I'd really expect that to be something which is constant throughout the lifetime of the system. A separate property showing the degraded capacity would be a bit less surprising. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
