This version incorporates a fix for the "battery icon after standby" issue that several people have experienced at various times over the past two years. Hijack now waits at least 250ms after turning on the display (and radio module) before reenabling powerfail detection. Previously, it only waited about 100ms (standard Empeg kernel value), but with other changes that have been made over the years, that value was no longer adequate in all situations.
The patchset for this version is larger than the theoretical one-liner fix, because I also hacked it to not do an inline busy-wait loop when invoked from the player process -- it uses schedule_timeout() instead whenever feasible, which will make it somewhat "nicer" to any other processes/apps that one may be running on the player.
EDIT: Also in v352: I removed the option to "power off the display" in the screen blanker, as this was never really satisfactory under all conditions, and is of dubious value. It also conflicted with the battery icon fixes in some combinations.
v351, released earlier but without fanfare, includes a fix for a small bug in the kernel whereby it was misdetecting the headlight/dimmer sense value on startup. Fixed in v351 (and v352).
