If a battery is at a critical charge level and not being charged or discharged, then the ACPI _BST method will return a state of 4, and the current acpi_battery_get_property() code will not set any property value for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_STATUS. This will cause an oops in power_supply_show_property() when it reads off the end of the status_text array. This actually was causing a 100% reproducible crash on boot on my laptop with two batteries, when one battery was completely drained and the laptop was not plugged in. Fix this by making sure acpi_battery_get_property() returns POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_UNKNOWN for any battery state it doesn't already handle explicitly. There doesn't seem to be any status enum value defined that makes more sense than 'unknown' for a battery at a critical charge level.
