Yeah, I made it so that it could be probed a year and a half ago, but
there's been very little use of it - there's no in-tree users of it that
I can tell.

It's quite varied, but I can't find any examples of a userspace
daemon watching temperature/connection type, although it should be
fairly simple to implement. A few examples:
- Maemo Leste uses a plugin to their MCE daemon to shutdown on low battery
- postmarketOS uses whatever is in kernel and whatever the DE provides to shutdown
on low battery
- It also has a power stats collecting software, IIRC, although this might be DE
specific
- LineageOS/Android has healthd, but this appears to be more for gathering stats
In terms of in-tree examples, there's quite the variety:
- The AB8500 driver (used in some STE phones) is fairly similar situation,
with separate fuelgauge, charger and temperature drivers bound together by
an "algorithm" driver that checks temperatures and what is connected (very
similar to charger-manager, but specific to that HW).
- Nokia N900 has temperature reading integrated, but no shutoff
- Pinephone/Pinetab appears to have separate USB/AC charger drivers and
a battery driver, but no temperature monitoring.
So it rather looks like there's no consensus. I guess I'll do some more research
and drop this patch for now.
Thanks,
Jonathan
