[PATCH] Support batteries that report both energy and current.

More cleanly support batteries that report both energy and current,
but do not report power_now. One battery driver in drivers/power
(bq20z75) supports reporting energy and current natively from the
fuel gauge, but does not report power_now. The previous legacy behavior
would ignore the existence of charge and treat current_now as
being in units of power.
