[PATCH 6.19 084/844] ACPI: battery: fix incorrect charging status when current is zero

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ata İlhan Köktürk <atailhan2006@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bb1256e0ddc7e9e406164319769b9f8d8389f056 ]

On some laptops, such as the Huawei Matebook series, the embedded
controller continues to report "Charging" status even when the
charge threshold is reached and no current is being drawn.

This incorrect reporting prevents the system from switching to battery
power profiles, leading to significantly higher power (e.g., 18W instead
of 7W during browsing) and missed remaining battery time estimation.

Validate the "Charging" state by checking if rate_now is zero. If the
hardware reports charging but the current is zero, report "Not Charging"
to user space.
