Hi Colin,
It was actually one bug that led to another topics
== Topic 1 ==
The one that is related to fwts is simple: when I was testing the the
trip point patch, I found fwts_battery_get_capacity_sys_fs always
returns 0 for remaining capacity. After some digging in, it is because
the strings mismatch as the patch.
The below is the output from my thinkpad x200
========================================================
@x200:~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent
POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Full
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion
POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=0
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=14400000
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=16684000
POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_NOW=0
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=28800000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=24430000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=24430000
POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=42T4646
POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SANYO
POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= 1720
========================================================
== Topic 2 ==
The led to the discussion we had - I was testing on x220 which has such
problem, and then it turns on thinkpad sometimes returns power unit as
mAh and sometimes as mWh, and this seems to be a BIOS bug - I will send
Lenovo for their feedbacks.
Cheers,
Alex Hung
