Yea
BTW, don't get too 1337 with blacklisting bq27x00_battery - do it using a way, that you will be able to revert easily. Current progress on bme replacement (via re-written bq2415_battery and bq27x00_battery modules) mean, that after some time, you *will* want to use "reborn" bq27x00_battery, as module for exporting things for userland bme replacement bits.
After all, talking directly to i2c is always - more or less "dirty hack", and with dawn of proper BME replacement, it's going to get obsolete. While it will - for sure - mean availability of nicely integrated, GUI battery meters, it doesn't mean BNF will go away, though - for those hardy pack of people, that still like it, I will for sure release version that uses bq27x00_battery instead of i2cget, as soon as BME replacement using kernel module will be available.
