This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ACPI: battery: Accept charges over the design capacity as full to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: acpi-battery-accept-charges-over-the-design-capacity.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 80087dfe46b80130abfb8d987bb24bf9dde52644 Author: André Almeida <andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 8 00:05:29 2021 -0300 ACPI: battery: Accept charges over the design capacity as full [ Upstream commit 2835f327bd1240508db2c89fe94a056faa53c49a ] Some buggy firmware and/or brand new batteries can support a charge that's slightly over the reported design capacity. In such cases, the kernel will report to userspace that the charging state of the battery is "Unknown", when in reality the battery charge is "Full", at least from the design capacity point of view. Make the fallback condition accepts capacities over the designed capacity so userspace knows that is full.
