"git shortlog v2.6.37..v2.6.38-rc6" doesn't show me anything obvious fitting that description.
This was just a wild hunch. I really don't know much about the Linux kernel. I greped after "power_supply" in the source tree and that's where the most of the results were. I now noticed that "drivers/acpi" also has some stuff about power_supply and battery (which makes me thinking if it's not just a buggy ACPI implementation on my machine... in any case, I would be glad to get it fixed one way or another).
[...]I'll check the latest kernel,Excellent, thanks.
I'll check the new kernel tomorrow as now it's really late in my timezone and I have to go sleep.
