@freemangordon and @estel,

Check the thread linked in the first post. The poor guy suffered from this problem even with the N900 being *turned off* (whether completely or ACT_DEAD is unclear, I vote for ACT_DEAD).

Powertop outputs are also on that thread...

The problem apparently only happened when the phone was *not* connected to the charger, hence my question about bq module.

I don't know if things have changed with KP50, but the bq27.. module was not supposed to be loaded when bme is also running. At least I haven't loaded it since KP46 days.

Now AFAIK nobody has (yet?) had a real problem when combining bq27 and bme. Perhaps we have a case here?!
