@toxaris,

It's not directly related, but with KP51 and bq2415x enabled you can effectively get rid of BME and the kernel will take care of charging the battery nicely.

I've done that. I have even uninstalled BME, and charging works. Obviously the battery meter doesn't work (it shows always half-full, that's how it was when I removed bme). But I just monitor the voltage and extrapolate in my head (basically, take the voltage in mv, subtract 3000 and you get a rough estimate of the mAh). Good enough for me I'd say.
