You're right, of course. Anton, can you please apply the following?



Subject: [PATCH] power_supply: fix up CHARGE_COUNTER output to be more precise

As Richard Smith pointed out, ACR * 6250 / 15 provides for less precision
loss than ACR * 4167 / 10, _and_ it doesn't overflow. Switch to using
that equation for CHARGE_COUNTER.
