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. The origin of this issue is dates way back to 2.6.38: da8aeb92d4853f37e281f11fddf61f9c7d84c3cd (ACPI / Battery: Update information on info notification and resume) Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Tested-by: Ralf Jung <post@ralfj.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
