On Galaxy S3 (i9300/i9305), which has the max17047 fuel gauge and no
current sense resistor (rsns), the RepSOC register does not provide an
accurate state of charge value. The reported value is wrong, and does
not change over time. VFSOC however, which uses the voltage fuel gauge
to determine the state of charge, always shows an accurate value.
For devices without current sense, VFSOC is already used for the
soc-alert (0x0003 is written to MiscCFG register), so with this change
the source of the alert and the PROP_CAPACITY value match.

Changes in v2:
Re-write commit message to highlight that VFSOC is already used for
alert, after Krzysztof's comments
