Interesting idea. But how would it help to identify the
issue?
I can confirm that after a while of attempting to read
the uevent it suddenly starts to work.
Then I can even swap the battery (and verify by looking
at the cycle count which changes).
I have some unconfirmed impression that it helps to run
two cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27000_battery/uevent
in quick enough succession to get it out of the hickup mode.
This needs more test.
It would indicate that if a new omap_hdq_runtime_resume()
is called by the second open+read+close sequence before
the autosuspend (300ms) of the previous omap_hdq_runtime_suspend()
happens, something gets back in place for the second
omap_hdq_runtime_suspend().
BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
