Hi RaviChandra,

Many thanks for pushing this upstream. Some more comments below.

You can check in cros-ec-sysfs driver if the feature is supported, no need to do
this here and add a new variable. See below.

nit: Reversed X-mas tree order if you don't mind.

I looked at ectool cmd_battery_cut_off and if I understand correctly this
command is also possible for protocol version 0. I am wondering if we should
also handle this case. There is any reason to don't do that?

Can you prepare this for future flags defining and array of strings and using
sysfs_match_string helper?

You can check directly if the feature is available. i.e

static int cros_ec_has_battery(struct cros_ec_dev *ec)
{
       return ec->features[EC_FEATURE_BATTERY / 32] &
              EC_FEATURE_MASK_0(EC_FEATURE_BATTERY);
}

Not needed.

Note that the reason why we have a has_kb_wake_angle is because there isn't an
EC_FEATURE for the wake_angle propriety, but this is not the case here.
features[2] has this info.
