Looking for kernel patch testers for Panasonic laptops

I have been working on converting existing platform x86 drivers to a unified charge_types API with the goal to allow users to easily set battery charge limits from your Desktop Environment or a script.

Back in the day there was no standard API for preserving your battery health so every laptop driver would have its own custom file "battery_care_limit" or "eco_mode" etc.
So far I have converted the ideapad driver over to the new API, but I would want to convert everyone of them without having to buy even more laptops :-)

If you have a Panasonic laptop with the following file in sysfs:

/sys/devices/platform/panasonic/eco_mode

And would be happy to test a kernel, then feel free to contact me via email.
