This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ACPI / battery: Retry to get battery information if failed during probing to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.6. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 35b65f83b322d1c4f0a2ad313c67c3c125be62e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com> Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2014 15:47:12 +0800 Subject: ACPI / battery: Retry to get battery information if failed during probing commit 75646e758a0ecbed5024454507d5be5b9ea9dcbf upstream. Some machines (eg. Lenovo Z480) ECs are not stable during boot up and causes battery driver fails to be loaded due to failure of getting battery information from EC sometimes. After several retries, the operation will work. This patch is to retry to get battery information 5 times if the first try fails.
