The problem is that without pen nearby the HID battery reports 0 charge instead
of not-present. This results in GNOME showing an low battery warning every time
the user logs into a session which is very annoying.

So until we've some better fix we need to choose between many users getting the
annoying low battery warning all the time; or the few users who actually use a
pen with these touchscreens (which is quite rare) not having battery info.

Having the chose at all between this is not ideal, but until we've a better fix
just hiding the broken battery reporting is the best we can do.
