From: Andy Whitcroft <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 14:48:26 +0100 Subject: ACPI battery: only refresh the sysfs files when pertinent information changes commit c5971456964290da7e98222892797b71ef793e62 upstream. We only need to regenerate the sysfs files when the capacity units change, avoid the update otherwise.
