           Summary: battemp values obviously bogus
           Product: OpenMoko
           Version: current svn head
          Platform: Neo1973
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel
        AssignedTo: laforge at openmoko.org
        ReportedBy: cesarb at cesarb.net
                CC: buglog at lists.openmoko.org


The battemp value (on
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0008) starts at -10, and
slowly climbs (currently it's at 9-10, connected to the USB host the whole
time). The values are obviously bogus if interpreted as °C; the ambient
temperature is at least 20°C, and the battery was not stored in a freezer before
being put on the phone.

The comments on
/home/cesarb/scratch/src/openmoko/openmoko/trunk/src/target/kernel/patches/gta01-pcf50606.patch
imply the value should be on °C; it's also possible that the comments are bogus,
and the temperature unit is something else (if that's the case, converting to °C
or Kelvin would be useful).
