Subject: [PATCH] obsolete config in kernel source (TWL4030_BCI_BATTERY)

Hi all!

	As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

	The in-code config option CONFIG_TWL4030_BCI_BATTERY seems to
originate from the omap project[1]. However some variant of that patch
was rejected from mainline inclusion (sorry no links at hand right
now) and the functionality seems to get implemented under another name
[2] so this config option is probably dead.

	Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

	Christoph Egger
