[PATCH 4/4] power_supply: bump EC version check that we refuse torun with in olpc_battery

From: Andres Salomon
Date: Wed Apr 30 2008 - 16:28:07 EST



Refuse to run with an EC < 0x44. We're playing it safe, and this is
a pretty old EC version.

Also, add a comment about why we're checking the EC version.
