power: supply: axp288_fuel_gauge: Rework get_status()

Browse source

Relying on the (dis)charge current reporting for reporting FULL back to
userspace does not work really well and often leads to the reported status
getting stuck at e.g. 98/99% (the fuelgauge is not perfect) for hours.

What happens is that when the battery is full the axp288 keeps charging it
with a very low current. Until it is really really full and once really
really full, some inaccuracies in the adc lead to it then sometimes
reporting a small discharging rate, even though an external pwr source is
used. So we end up with a status of "charging" for hours after the battery
is actually already full and sometimes this then flip-flops to discharging.

This commit fixes this by first checking if a valid Vbus is present and if
it is present using the fuel-gauge's reported percentage to check for a
full battery.

This commit also changes how get_status() determines if the battery is
charging or discharging when not reporting it as full. We still use the
current direction for this, but instead of reading 4 extra registers for
this (2 16 bit regs), simplify things by using the current-direction bit
in the power-status register, which already gets read anyways.

This also reduces the amount of i2c reads to 1 when on battery and 2
when a valid Vbus is present.
