An updated patch (against battery-2.6 master) is below.




This adds a new sysfs file called 'charge_type' which displays the type of
charging (unknown, n/a, trickle charge, or fast charging). This allows
things like battery diagnostics to determine what the battery/EC is doing
without resorting to changing the 'status' sysfs output.
