I'm not that fussed - you just seemed to want feedback, so I had a read ;-)

If you change it, I'd write something like:

This adds a function that indicates that a battery is fully charged. It 
also includes functions to get a power_supply device from the class of 
registered devices by name reference. These can be used to find a 
specific battery to call power_supply_set_battery_charged() on.

Some battery drivers might need this information to calibrate
themselves.

Or something.
