ACPI / Battery: Return -ENODEV for unknown values in get_property()
The function acpi_battery_get_property() is called by the power supply framework's function power_supply_show_property() implementing the sysfs interface for power supply devices as the ACPI battery driver's ->get_property() callback. Thus it is supposed to return error code if the value of the given property is unknown. Unfortunately, however, it returns 0 in those cases and puts a wrong (negative) value into the intval field of the union power_supply_propval object provided by power_supply_show_property(). In consequence, wrong negative values are read by user space from the battery's sysfs files. Fix this by making acpi_battery_get_property() return -ENODEV for properties with unknown values (-ENODEV is returned, because power_supply_uevent() returns with error for any other error code returned by power_supply_show_property()).
