This happens over +the standard ``charge_control_end_threshold`` power supply sysfs attribute. All values +between 1 and 100 percent are supported. + +Additionally the driver signals the presence of battery charging issues through the standard +``health`` power supply sysfs attribute. + +Lightbar +-------- + +The ``uniwill-laptop`` driver exposes the lightbar found on some models as a standard multicolor +LED class device. The default name of this LED class device is ``uniwill:multicolor:status``. + +See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-uniwill-laptop for details on how to control the various +animation modes of the lightbar. |
