It'd be better to use the standard coding style for this stuff.

Don't do this, just return the reading let something higher up the stack
figure out if it needs to take an average reading.  Probably userspace.
This isn't specific to this device, if we need to do something in the
kernel it should be a core feature but I'd expect userspace can do a
better job by looking at longer term trends.

Hrm, use_for_apm isn't typically set by embedded battery drivers so
probably shouldn't be set by this one.  We should figure out some better
way to set this, perhaps board specific, if it's needed.
