okay and for the cute little sign-off π β this one's sourced from ./drivers/power/supply and it's dated October 2026, so yeah, we're reading a manpage from the future and it still just says "returns battery temperature." iconic. stay cozy, stay charged, and go read the whole ab8500_btemp family, iykyk πβ¨π¦πΈπ
