[Arm-netbook] EOMA68 laptop battery management.

[Jakub Kákona]

Thanks for the diagram!
But I have one more question. Is it really necessarily to operate bq24193's
I²C bus at 1.8V?
According to datasheet http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq24193.pdf
The 1.8V was used only as example of operating voltage..
The Absolute Maximum Ratings for all SDA, SCL and INT pins is 7V and both
are "i2c standard open collectors" and could be pulled-up to any rail
within the operating voltage range..
Therefore I think the Voltage translator is not necessary...
