What happened to the "scope" sysfs attribute?

Hi,

UPower assumes a "scope" attribute[1] to determine whether a battery powers 
the system or something else. I see that the kernel patches were queued for 
3.3[2], but I cannot find these commits back in mainline.

Was that patchset dropped without anyone noticing? Anton and Richard, can you 
shed more light on this?

UPower people, you need to revise the power supply detection logic, assume 
mouse/keyboard/whatever when a battery is located under an input device.

Regards,
Peter
