If I revise the description in this way(using your clear explanation):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battery capacity changing course is like this:

full: BATTERY_FULLY_CHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_FULL
<unplug AC>
high->low: BATTERY_DISCHARGING => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING
~0%: DISCHARGING & FULLY_DISCHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING
<plug in AC>
0%~20%: FULLY_DISCHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_CHARGING
20%~: No flag => POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_CHARGING

For now, it is not exactly right to show the status as
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING when the battery is dry
(FULLY_DISCHARGED) and AC is plugged in.
Although the battery is in a low level, system works fine with the AC
charging.
It is better to say that the battery is charging.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

How about this?
By the way, should I also revise the title?
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING is used for AC connected, but
battery not charging (e.g. because battery temperature is out
of acceptable range). If you are discharging use
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING.

You should just ignore the FULLY_DISCHARGED bit in the status
property. If you don't want to loose the information about fully
discharged battery add POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL, which maps:

BATTERY_FULLY_CHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_FULL
FULLY_DISCHARGED => POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_CRITICAL
otherwise => POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_NORMAL
Oops.
It looks like I misunderstand POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING.
As Daniel said before, we could just ignore FULLY_DISCHARGED.

So change like the

sbs-battery: fix power status when battery charging near
dry

POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING is used for AC connected, but
battery not charging (e.g. because battery temperature is out
of acceptable range).

When battery is charging near dry and BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED is set,
it is wrong to set as POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING.
Just use BATTERY_DISCHARGING to decide the power supply status is
discharging or charging.

                if (ret & BATTERY_FULL_CHARGED)
                        val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_FULL;
-               else if (ret & BATTERY_FULL_DISCHARGED)
-                       val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING;
                else if (ret & BATTERY_DISCHARGING)
                        val->intval = POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING;
