What you don't understand ?

NEVER load the 'b27x00_battery' driver, as it breaks bme by exclusively occupying the I2C bus !!!

Like stated by 'joerg_rw' here : http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=534

So, there is no interest at all for the 'bq27x00_battery' driver 'pali' backported to this release.

Also, in this thread, 'pali' say, to apply patch to be able to use the values reported by 'bq27x00_battery' driver he backported, but since the driver is unusable, no need to patch anything, and keep using bme.

Hope it help ...
