Lenovo Z480) ECs are not stable during boot up and causes battery driver fails to be loaded due to failure of getting battery information from EC sometimes. After several retries, the operation will work. This patch is to retry to get battery information 5 times if the first try fails. backport to 3.14.5: removed second parameter in acpi_battery_update(), introduced by the commit 9e50bc14a7f58b5d8a55973b2d69355852ae2dae (ACPI / battery: Accelerate battery resume callback) [naszar <naszar@xxxxx>: backport to 3.14.5] Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75581 Reported-and-tested-by: naszar <naszar@xxxxx> Cc: All applicable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
