The 'power1_alarm' attribute uses the 'power' and 'cap' in the
acpi_power_meter_resource structure. However, these two fields are just
updated when user query 'power' and 'cap' attribute, or hardware enforced
limit. If user directly query the 'power1_alarm' attribute without queryng
above two attributes, driver will use the uninitialized variables to judge.
In addition, the 'power1_alarm' attribute needs to update power and cap to
show the real state.

While technically correct, the implementation of this attribute defeats its
purpose. It is supposed to reflect the current status as reported by the
hardware. A real fix would be to use the associated notification to set or
reset a status flag, and to report the current value of that flag as reported
by the hardware.
If there is no notification support, the attribute should not even exist,
unless there is a means to retrieve its value from ACPI (the status itself,
not by comparing temperature values).
