This patch adds a notifier chain to the power_supply.
This notifier helps drivers in other subsystem to listen to
changes in power supply subsystem. This would help to take some
actions in those drivers on changing the power supply properties.
One such scenario is to increase/decrease system performance based
on the battery capacity/voltage. Another scenario is to adjust the
h/w peak current detection voltage/current thresholds based on battery
voltage/capacity. The notifier helps drivers to listen to changes
in power_suppy susbystem without polling the power_supply properties

Hi Jenny,
Can you please submit users of this new API as well, so that we could see
the whole picture?
Thanks,
Anton
Anton,
I submitted 7 patches together which includes this patch also. Hope this would give more insight to the features.
