There are no functional changes at all. It simply trying to be more
verbose (and forgiving), in case the ioctl did not return advance
information (such as remaining time, so on) which I believe few ACPI
bioses incapable of providing such info. In this case, it trying to
calculate the percentage of remining battery capacity based on Last
Full Capacity, which current acpiconf ignore.

# acpiconf -i 0 (without patch)
Design capacity:        6000 mAh
Last full capacity:     4000 mAh
Technology:             secondary (rechargeable)
Design voltage:         14800 mV
Capacity (warn):        207 mAh
Capacity (low):         125 mAh
Low/warn granularity:   10 mAh
Warn/full granularity:  25 mAh
Model number:           JM-6
Serial number:          0046713127
Type:                   LION

                        ^^^^^^^^^^^
Voltage:                unknown
