[PATCH 0/3] PMU and Battery interaction in regard to kobject uevent

Hey,

with 2.6.24 we are using the battery class to present our bq27000 battery. Now 
we would like to update the charging indicator immediately after the power 
supply was plugged in and the kernel recognized that.
The kernel has one interface for that. These are the uevents. In the case of 
the battery you will need the kobject of the battery device.

Now to the issue:
	- The battery code has the kobject but does not know about the pmu
	- The pmu knows about plugging but doesn't have the kobject.

My proposal:
	- Extend the current callback in the pcf50633 driver to allow to register and 
unregister handlers and make register the bq27000 there.

Alternative proposal:
	- Use the existing cb and make the mach-gta02.c call into the battery code..
