+Subject: platform/x86: asus-wmi: Don't reset charge threshold on boot
+
+Currently, the driver resets the charge threshold to 100% on every boot.
+This is because the driver cannot read the current threshold from the
+EC. The EC is perfectly capable of storing it across reboots.
+
+This causes e.g., Powerdevil, to think the charge limit is 100% on boot
+and for users to have to set it every time. Just skip setting it on boot
+even if this causes userspace to drift.
+
+Fixes: 7973353e92ee ("platform/x86: asus-wmi: Refactor charge threshold to use the battery hooking API")
