Subject: [PATCH V3] cros_ec: Expose sysfile to force battery cut-off on shutdown.

On chromebooks, power_manager daemon normally shutsdown(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 cut-off. This results in
battery deep-discharging. This is a bad user experience as battery
has to trickle charge before booting when the A.C 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 cut-off instead of hibernating when the system enters
S5 next time.

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.
