That commit does not apply cleanly and I need a backported version. Can you do that and test it to verify it works and then send it to us to be applied?
I now have a patch against linux-4.19.y, tested on my EeePC just now: the battery status and discharge rate are shown correctly.
I've never submitted a patch before, should I put "commit <short-hash> upstream." as the first line of my commit message, followed by another line stating which branch I would like this to be merged to? Should I also include the original commit message of the backported commit? And then use git format-patch? I just read through [1] and [2], but they don't say anything specific about commit messages for backported patches.
