Hi,
After 270968c0984ae "bq27x00_battery: Fix reporting status value for bq27500 battery" status doesn't seem to be reported correctly when the battery is close to fully charged state. It reports "Not charging" while in fact there is >130mA current flowing to the battery according to current_now.
This status report seems to be based on CHG bit in status register, but looking at the datasheet the description says "(Fast) charging allowed", which I guess means that the chip recommends charging and not that charging is actually going on? If you check the bit while battery is discharging and it's not full, the bit is also set.
