No, that information is supposed to come from a system-dependent 
mechanism.  I've seen ACPI used on x86 system (it by far makes the most 
sense) and various events and messages on non-x86 systems.

acpid should do it, assuming the right ACPI things are enabled in the 
kernel.  But it really depends on the board.  This is specified to be 
done, but the mechanism is not specified by ATCA.
