Looks ok. the only comment I have right now is that the comment doesnt quite match the patch - it suggests that the patch doesnt include the power_supply_set_battery_charged() function, when it does in fact.

The subject mentions it, and the body references it again. Hmm. Anyway.
Want me to resend? Or could the commiter add another sentence to point
that out? I think that would be Anton, as he agreed to pick all the
other patches I recently sent in.

I'm not that fussed - you just seemed to want feedback, so I had a read ;-)

If you change it, I'd write something like:

This adds a function that indicates that a battery is fully charged. It also includes functions to get a power_supply device from the class of registered devices by name reference. These can be used to find a specific battery to call power_supply_set_battery_charged() on.

Some battery drivers might need this information to calibrate
themselves.

Or something.
