To work around that we can use n_gsm and and then suspend USB device. That will need the modem wake gpio working that I'll be sending patches for at some point.
And we should make cdc_wdm, qcaux and ohci support runtime PM for autosuspend at some point. For *hci, we can make it work along what Roger did in his earlier series here except by using Linux generic wakeirq support:

Just to rub that in, you do mean GSM usable for voice calls and SMS with your unicsy_demo with mainline kernel plus the pending LCD related patches, right? :)

Cool. BTW, the value for POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_AVG should be quite accurate for the whole device power consumption.
It comes from the shunt resistor measured by the PMIC. Sorry I don't remember how often it needs to be polled but I'm guessing polling it once a minute or so should be plenty.
Hmm oh and the POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_COUNTER value should be monitored by your libbattery and it's low value and high value should be saved to a file. Low should be saved when we get the battery low interrupt and battery state changes to POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_CRITICAL. High value should be saved on POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_FULL.
Then when you know the high value and low value, you can calculate the remaining capacity based on the current value and POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_AVG.
