Subject: [PATCH V4] cros_ec: Expose sysfile to force battery cutoff on shutdown.

From: RaviChandra Sadineni <ravisadineni@...omium.org>

On chromebooks, power_manager daemon normally shuts down(S5) the device
when the battery charge falls below 4% threshold. ChromeOS EC then
normally spends an hour in S5 before hibernating. If the battery charge
falls below critical threshold in the mean time, EC does a battery cutoff
instead of hibernating. On some chromebooks, S5 is optimal enough
resulting in EC hibernating without battery cutoff. This results in
battery deep discharging. This is a bad user experience as battery
has to trickle charge before booting when the AC is plugged in the next
time.

This patch exposes a sysfs file for an userland daemon to suggest EC if it
has to do a battery cutoff instead of hibernating when the system enters
S5 next time.

V4: Addressed comments from Enric.
V3: Make battery-cutoff generic and expose 'at-shutdown' flag.
V2: Use kstrtobool() instead of kstrtou8() and add documentation.

+Description:
+                cros_ec battery cuttoff configuration. Only option
+                currently exposed is 'at-shutdown'.
+
+                'at-shutdown' sends a host command to EC requesting
+                battery cutoff on next shutdown. If AC is plugged
+                in before next shutdown, EC ignores the request and
+                resets the flag.
+
+                Currently EC does not expose a host command to read
+                the status of battery cutoff configuration. Thus this
+                flag is write-only.
