Commit 19fffc8450d4378580a8f019b195c4617083176f fixed reporting
"Discharging" on some machines when AC was connected but the battery was
not charging. But now on these machines the battery status is reported
as "Not charging" even when the battery is fully charged.

This commit takes the battery capacity into consideration when checking
if "Not charging" should be returned and "Full" is returned when the
capacity is 100%.

acpi_battery_handle_discharging() only gets called if the ACPI_BATTERY_STATE_DISCHARGING
bit is set by the firmware in that case if we are not actually discharging
returning POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING is the only correct thing to do,
we should never return POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_FULL when the
ACPI_BATTERY_STATE_DISCHARGING bit is set.

I was about to point you to the upower bug for upower not
handling POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING as well as it
could atm, but I see you've already found that and are working
on fixing that. That is great, thank you.

As for this kernel-side fix I do not believe that fixing thus in
the kernel is the right thing to do. We try to stay away from
heuristics using full_charge_capacity in the kernel since that
is not really reliable / deterministic.

Regards,

Hans
