[PATCH 2/5] power_supply: add an ERROR property that displays raw errors and use for OLPC

[PATCH 2/5] power_supply: add an ERROR property that displays raw errors and use for OLPC

[Andres Salomon]

Grab the error code from EC_BAT_ERRCODE and let the user see it (rather
than attempting to decode it as we do with PROP_HEALTH).

Hi Andres,

I don't think that raw errcode is a good idea. Nobody will able to
interpret the 'raw' err value without a special knowledge about
this particular battery. So it feels like the olpc_battery driver
better register its own sysfs attribute.

Or, you can interpret it in the driver and express it to outside
via some known values (ERROR_FOO, ERROR_BAR).

Thanks,
