Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: lenovo-wmi-other: Deconflict battery with thinkpad_acpi
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:35:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111083529.727285-1-aaron.ma@canonical.com> (raw)
ThinkPads expose battery charge thresholds and charge_behaviour through
thinkpad_acpi's ACPI battery hook using raw sysfs attribute groups. The
Lenovo WMI "Other Mode" driver also registers a power_supply_ext for
charge_behaviour and charge_types on systems advertising those WMI
capabilities.
When lenovo-wmi-other registers first, thinkpad_acpi fails to create a
duplicate charge_behaviour sysfs attribute and unregisters its battery
extension. Conversely, registering or updating any power_supply_ext on
the same battery runs sysfs_update_groups(), which removes standard
power-supply attributes not owned by power_supply_core and wipes out
thinkpad_acpi's charge_control_start_threshold,
charge_control_end_threshold, and charge_behaviour files.
Match the existing ideapad_laptop deconfliction and skip registering
the WMI battery extension when CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI is enabled and a
ThinkPad ACPI hotkey device (LEN0268, LEN0068, or IBM0068) is present,
unless overridden by force_load_psy_ext.
