Subject: ACPI / battery: Retry to get battery information if failed during probing
From: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 75646e758a0ecbed5024454507d5be5b9ea9dcbf upstream.
Some machines (eg. 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]
