Hi,

is there any reason, why acpi_battery_get_property() should call
acpi_battery_update() at all?

Alex?
Do you mean "why should it call _whole_ battery update?" ?
get_state should be sufficient in order to not get stale data.

ACPI: Battery: remove cycle from battery removal.

From: Alexey Starikovskiy <[email protected]>

get_property() should not call battery_update() on absent battery to
avoid cycle and oops.
