The battery on the 2nd hand Surface 3 which I recently bought appears to not have a serial no programmed in. This results in any I2C reads from the registers containing the serial no failing with an I2C NACK. This was causing mshw0011_bix() to fail causing the battery readings to not work at all. Ignore EREMOTEIO (I2C NACK) errors when retrieving the serial no and continue with an empty serial no to fix this.
