The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a configuration cleanup for the Blockstream Jade hardware wallet firmware. It generalizes the meaning of the 'HAS_BATTERY' setting so that battery-related and camera-related menu options are automatically hidden on device variants that lack those hardware parts. There is no direct security fix here; it is a maintainability and user-interface change that prevents unsupported features from being shown or compiled on devices that do not have the required hardware.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal firmware maintenance commit. No urgent security action is required. Reviewers may want to verify that the new Kconfig defaults correctly cover all battery-equipped board variants and that no intended feature is accidentally disabled on supported hardware.

Security signals we found

01

Feature-gating of hardware-specific code paths (battery, camera, USB storage) behind CONFIG_HAS_BATTERY / CONFIG_HAS_CAMERA

02

Removal of a user-selectable HAS_BATTERY option in favor of board-level defaults

03

No direct memory-safety, cryptographic, or authentication fix visible in the diff
