I am not exactly sure about this one ... what other power_supply class drivers do? Should I fix HAL instead (but then, I do not know whether HAL is the only application that is using this interface).
Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.24-rc1: ensure "present" sysfs attribute even if battery is absent
From: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@xxxxxxx>
Ensure that we always have "present" attribute in sysfs. This is compatible
with procfs case where we had "present: no" if battery was not available.
This fixes HAL battery detection where it does pretend battery is present
but canot provide any value for it.
