[PATCH] power: supply: core: Ignore -EIO for uevent

From: Brian Norris
Date: Wed Aug 24 2022 - 20:01:50 EST


For uevents, we enumerate all properties. Some battery implementations
don't implement all standard properties, and may return -EIO for
properties that aren't recognized. This means we never report uevents
for such batteries.

It's better to ignore these errors and skip the property, as we do with
ENODATA and ENODEV.

Example battery implementation: Acer Chromebook Tab 10 (a.k.a. Google
Gru-Scarlet) has a virtual "SBS" battery implementation in its Embedded
Controller on top of an otherwise non-SBS battery.
