The battery on the 2nd hand Surface 3 which I recently bought appears to
not have a serial number programmed in. This results in any I2C reads from
the registers containing the serial number failing with an I2C NACK.
This was causing mshw0011_bix() to fail causing the battery readings to
not work at all.
Ignore EREMOTEIO (I2C NACK) errors when retrieving the serial number and
continue with an empty serial number to fix this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
