I'm not sure. Probably not. Why would you think that the current should always be positive? For ds2760 it isn't, for example. If some driver assumes always positive current, I think it should be fixed instead. If the battery is discharging, let it be negative. That's what happens on wires anyway. :-) -- Anton Vorontsov Email: cbouatmailru@...il.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
