Thank you for explaining the technical background.

Please hit enter somewhere in your commit message, this is a very

I believe this maps to:

0 -> POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_TYPE_NONE
1 -> POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_TYPE_TRICKLE
2 -> POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_TYPE_FAST (or _STANDARD, I see battmgr code
reports them both as 2)

However, we already set it to none/trickle/standard(taper) based on
the usual notifications, so I'm not sure if these are more common or
arrive outside the normal state changes - if so, perhaps we can take
them into account as well?

I think it also warrants a:
