Hi Sebastian,

I noticed a small mistake in patch 8.

If the rt5033-charger driver is not available, this function returns 
"-ENODEV". Instead of an error, in fact the status node in sysfs just 
reports "-19" then. Userspace layer UPower makes status "unknown" out of 
this.

An error message would spam dmesg anyway, as it would be issued every 
time the battery gets polled by UPower, which is quite regularly. The 
scenario of a missing rt5033-charger driver is not unlikely for devices 
where it's not yet implemented in the devicetree or in the configs of 
the compiled kernel. For the displayed battery icon, UPower assumes 
"discharging" for a single battery in "unknown" state.

It makes more sense to return "POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_UNKNOWN" right away. 
I'll change that line in v3.
