Pity. Not trying to insist too hard, but this battery stuff can not break
anything pre-existing in kernel. Also it's proven to work at least on five
different embedded devices PXA2xx and S3C (HP iPaqs h2200, rx3000, h5550
and hx4700), with two battery types. Plus I believe that this battery
class more than suitable for OLPC guys (battery-2.6 tree).

Anyway, maybe it's even better if we'll boil battery stuff a *bit* more.

Also you didn't [directly] answered how long exactly we should wait,
should we come back after 2.6.21 or 2.6.22 release? In later case it's a
bit too long, isn't it?

:-) You can sum "ADC chips subsystem" to expectations, we're at
handhelds.org, going to cleanup and present it in few weeks. It will
include Analog-to-Digital chips subsystem, generic ADC battery driver,
generic ADC touchscreen driver with debouncing ability, along with few
ADC chip drivers.

Thanks,
