[Gta04-owner] QtMoko v57 - Charging

Hello Nikolaus,

I don't see a reason why using power LED to indicate if phone is on. If 
phone is on you see it because the display is on. ;-))
And if phone is in suspend, we want to reduce power usage as much as 
possible. So please leave the LED off in these cases.

charger.

discharging,

 > green = charging and everything ok

I would prefer constantly red for problems with charger due to bad 
voltage and blinking red for good voltage but other errournous 
conflicts. This should also be immediately intuitive.

And then constantly yellow for good voltage but not charging due to 
battery full and yellow blinking for regular charging. OK, green would 
also be allright and intuitive, but yellow is more bright (in fact two 
LEDs are on instead of only one), indicating that there's really strong 
power available for the phone... ;-))
