When we emit fully charged from the kernel to userspace it triggers a notification to the user and also stops the battery statistics profiler. > during AC/DC changes shows that the patch works -- > status in the DC->AC transient state becomes "Unknown" > instead of "Full". Correct, this is the desired state as we can't guess from the EC, as the EC doesn't itself know the state. > However, this doesn't seem to solve the problems in the GUI, > which continues to often show full on DC->AC transition, > followed by 'charging' a few seconds later. Right, I just need to hide the icon when the status is unknown. That's a patch I'm running with locally here. I don't think we should show a "confused" battery icon, just hide it until the EC knows the state. > From what I can see, the kernel part of this puzzle > is now working as well as it can, giving what the hardware gives us. Yes, the patch makes the interaction go from state->unknown->!state rather than state->fully-charged->!state which is much better for userspace.
