In linux kernel since version 5.2 (release Date: 2019-07-07)
Driver for battery devices connected via/managed by the Surface System
Aggregator Module (SSAM).
This driver provides battery-information and -status support for
Surface devices where said data is not exposed via the standard ACPI
devices. On those models (7th-generation), battery-information is
instead handled directly via SSAM client devices and this driver.
Say M or Y here to include battery status support for 7th-generation
Microsoft Surface devices, i.e. Surface Pro 7, Surface Laptop 3,
Surface Book 3, and Surface Laptop Go.
