The axp288_fuel_gauge_blacklist already has the following entry:

        {
                /* ECS EF20EA */
                .matches = {
                        DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "EF20EA"),
                },
        },

So is this real entry really necessary? The existing entry
matches the quirk for this in drivers/acpi/battery.c:

        {
                /* ECS EF20EA, AXP288 PMIC but uses separate fuel-gauge */
                .callback = battery_do_not_check_pmic_quirk,
                .matches = {
                        DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "EF20EA"),
                },
        },

And the one in drivers/acpi/ac.c:

        {
                /* ECS EF20EA, AXP288 PMIC but uses separate fuel-gauge */
                .callback = ac_do_not_check_pmic_quirk,
                .matches = {
                        DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "EF20EA"),
                },
        },

So I don't think that this patch is necessary...
