A missing/disconnected battery is now reported as dead rather than an
unspecified failure via the charger's sysfs health property.

$ cat health

I think the best thing to do would be to return -ENODEV as suggested by
power_supply_sysfs.c:305. Also you should probably add the POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_PRESENT
property check and set intval to 0 when there is no battery.
