Why?  Why not just update the berry_charge module with the needed
information?  How about sending such a patch to the current berry_charge
maintainer?  :)

Or, if you really think we should be doing all of this in userspace, and
barry is good enough to be shipped in distros today, then can you send
me a pointer to the release you feel is stable for the new devices, and
a patch that removes berry_charge from the kernel?

Having two different packages fighting it out for things like this is
just not nice.  Right now, the "simple" berry_charge module for just
charging the device seems the best thing, that way the berry userspace
program can then, if the user wants, come along and do more "advanced"
things to the device (syncing, changing modes, etc.)

thanks,
