On quite a few devices the battery code in the ACPI tables is buggy and
first checks the charging status bits of the charger-IC, and if those
report not charging it will report discharging, without looking at the
presence of AC power or at the battery dis(charge) current from the
fuel-gauge.
This causes the wrong status to be reported for the battery in the
following quite common scenario:
1) Plug in charger while battery is say half full, battery starts
charging, charging state bits indicate: pre-charge or fast-charge,
ACPI reported battery status is ok
2) When fully charged charging state bits indicate: end-of-charge,
ACPI reported battery status is ok
3) unplug the charger, wait 1 minute, replug. Now the battery voltage is
still above the start-charging threshold, so the charger will not start
charging to avoid wrecking the battery by repeatedly recharging the last 1%
capacity. The charger IC charging state bits now are all 0 (not-charging)
and the broken ACPI code wrongly translate this to "discharging" and ends
up setting the ACPI_BATTERY_STATE_DISCHARGING bit in its state field.
Reporting this "not charging" state as discharging is confusing for users,
making the user think his adapter/power-brick is broken or not properly
plugged in.
This commit adds a helper for handling the ACPI_BATTERY_STATE_DISCHARGING
state. This helper checks if we're an AC and the current going out of the
battery is 0 and in that case reports a status of "not charging" to
userspace rather then "discharging".

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
