On chromebooks, power_manager daemon normally shutsdown(S5) the device
when the battery charge falls below 4% threshold. ChromeOS EC then
normally spends an hour in S5 before hibernating. If the battery charge
falls below critical threshold in the mean time, EC does a battery cutoff
instead of hibernating. On some chromebooks, S5 is optimal enough
resulting in EC hibernating without battery cut-off. This results in
battery deep-discharging. This is a bad user experience as battery
has to trickle charge before booting when the A.C is plugged in the next
time.
This patch exposes a sysfs file for an userland daemon to suggest EC if it
has to do a battery cut-off instead of hibernating when the system enters
S5 next time.
