Many thanks for looking into this. I cherry-picked 
d737f333b211361b6e239fc753b84c3be2634aaa and 
b1c0330823fe842dbb34641f1410f0afa51c29d3 on linux-4.19.y, they indeed 
apply cleanly as Salvatore wrote. I also compiled and tested the kernel, 
the battery is correctly displayed as discharging when unplugged, with a 
7.5 hours remaining as expected.

Does it still make sense for me to resubmit my patch with the "commit 
<full SHA1 hash> upstream." comment fixed? I would trust upstream more 
than me making one commit look reasonable while missing the other commit 
it was based on. Greg, what would you prefer?

Best regards,
Laurențiu
