I think that Joerg mean in that post that bq27x00 is deprecated on our device due to chip and BME characteristic - but of course I can't be sure, I'm not specialist and and that is just how i understand it. would be glad to settle this thing once for all.

And Pali, what about my question of contacting council about kernel maintainer status? It's really pity that "extras" version is 23 or so (in fact it DOESN'T work now - extras not-working :/), and kernel-power v47 will sit in devel forever. And one day longer, cause no one can push it up, no matter of votes or whatever.
