Please apply the Remove-the-current-files-in-the-sysfs.patch to test the
problem again. Compile the sbs driver as a module. When the problem happens,
reload the driver and check whether the value will be corrected.

This output looks like correct. Did they change correct after reading battery
status from procfs?

This looks very strange. I add the message in the patch. When reading the
battery status from sysfs, it will produce a message after getting state from
the battery. Attach the output of dmesg when the problem happens.
