It depends if the changes for linear charging can be applied to the
QtMoko kernel.

In principle, I think you would need to:

- get a copy of the source for the QtMoko kernel, e.g. from Radek's
  github

- apply the patches for linear charging (if possible)

- build and install that kernel (+ modules) onto your QtMoko partition,
  replacing the existing kernel and modules.

I hope that's useful.
