On gauges where the current register is signed, there is no charging flag in the flags register. So only checking flags will not result in power_supply_changed() getting called when e.g. a charger is plugged in and the current sign changes from negative (discharging) to positive (charging). This causes userspace's notion of the status to lag until userspace does a poll. And when a power_supply_leds.c LED trigger is used to indicate charging status with a LED, this LED will lag until the capacity percentage changes, which may take many minutes (because the LED trigger only is updated on power_supply_changed() calls). Fix this by calling bq27xxx_battery_current_and_status() on gauges with a signed current register and checking if the status has changed.

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.
