Dear Maintainer,

in all recent kernels 5.x the "Intel Cherry Trail ACPI INT33FE Driver" is
missing.
So, on a Laptop with an Intel Cherry Trail CPU (e.g. x5-Z8350) you can't
check
the status of the battery.
"acpi" on the command line gives:
        No support for device type: power_supply
With the driver installed we get:
        Battery 0: Discharging, 83%, discharging at zero rate - will never
fully discharge.
On a Laptop, I think it is essential to know the status of the battery.

In /boot/config-4.19.0-6-amd64 (e.g.) we have a line reading:
        CONFIG_INTEL_CHT_INT33FE=m
but in ALL config-5.x there is no such line! Maybe it was accidentally
deleted.

The driver is still alive, as you can see in an Ubuntu-linux-image
"5.4.2-050402-generic"

Yours sincerely,
Werner Latzel
