[PATCH] ACPI: battery: Add the ThinkPad "Not Charging" quirk

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Wed Dec 22 2021 - 16:20:32 EST


The EC/ACPI firmware on Lenovo ThinkPads used to report a status
of "Unknown" when the battery is between the charge start and
charge stop thresholds. On Windows, it reports "Not Charging"
so the quirk has been added to also report correctly.

Now the "status" attribute returns "Not Charging" when the
battery on ThinkPads is not physicaly charging.

This is the same as: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10205359/

Previously this patch has been applied[0] but then reverted from -next
because it caused a regression in UPower.
This regression however has been fixed in UPower in late 2018[1],
with the fixed version 0.99.10 released in early 2019 [2].
So maybe it is now time to reintroduce this change.

Ognen:

As the patch was originally developed by you, could send a
Signed-off-by-tag, so I can attribute you as co-developer?

Or maybe the original patch could just be re-applied?

The original patch had the following tags, which I'm not sure to handle
for this case:
