ACPI: battery: Don't return -EFAIL on broken packages.
Acer BIOS has a bug which is exposed when a dead battery is present. The package template that is used to describe battery status is over-written with sane values when the battery is live. But when the batter is dead, a bogus reference in the template is used. In this case, Linux returns a fault, when instead it should simply return that it doesn't know the missing value. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8573 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10202 Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy <astarikovskiy@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
