Oops.
It looks like I misunderstand POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING.
As Daniel said before, we could just ignore FULLY_DISCHARGED.

So change like the

sbs-battery: fix power status when battery charging near
dry

POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING is used for AC connected, but
battery not charging (e.g. because battery temperature is out
of acceptable range).

When battery is charging near dry and BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED is set,
it is wrong to set as POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING.
Just use BATTERY_DISCHARGING to decide the power supply status is
discharging or charging.

                if (ret & BATTERY_FULL_CHARGED)
                        val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_FULL;
-               else if (ret & BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED)
-                       val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING;
                else if (ret & BATTERY_DISCHARGING)
                        val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING;
