+Subject: [PATCH] linux: Fix < 0.01 W energy-rate readings from power_now sysfs
+ property
+
+Currently, if a power supplies' power_now sysfs file reports discharge
+rates < 0.01 W, the code will try to calculate the discharge rate from
+the legacy sysfs files. On new kernels where those don't exist, this
+produces wrong results.
+
+For example, on a dual-battery Thinkpad T450s, while the external
+battery is discharging, the internal battery reports power_now = 0,
+but the corresponding upower energy-rate field incorrectly reads
+about 2.3 W.
+
+This patch fixes the issue by falling back to the legacy code only if
+the legacy current_now sysfs file exists.
+
+Closes: #7, #44
