Yes, I charged battery in my n900 more times without problem with this my in-kernel driver.

If you mean upstream isp1704_charger kernel driver, no it is not included. But isp1704_charger driver was created from our patched maemo 2.6.28 musb code. So isp1704_charger is included in musb kernel driver (which do needed wallcharger detection).

Assuming I try the above, will my N900 become a bratwurst? (or a bratbrick

How do I stop charging? is this automatically detected? or do I have to echo something to /mode and unplug the charger, etc.?
Now in kp51 autodetection of charger type working, so manual mode is not needed. But BME must be stopped and then bq2415x_charger driver can be loaded.

Cheers and thanks a million!
I written some info about charging & hostmode with bq2415x_charger driver for kernel-power on: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pal...o/bq2415x.html
