Some machines'(E,G Lenovo Z480) ECs are not stable during boot up
and causes battery driver fails to be loaded due to failure of getting
battery information from EC sometimes. After several retries, the
operation will work. This patch is to retry to get battery information 5
times if the first try fails.

Why not to write this as

	for (;;) {
		result = acpi_battery_update(battery, false);
		if (!result)
			break;
		else if (!--retry)
			goto fail;

		msleep(20);
	}

I suggested a similar for loop earlier, I think it's cleaner.

Precisely.  And it would be even more clean to introduce

static bool acpi_battery_update_retry(struct acpi_battery *battery)
{
	int retry, ret;

	for (retry = 5; retry; retry--) {
		ret = acpi_battery_update(battery, false);
		if (!ret)
			break;

		msleep(20);
	}
	return ret;
}

and use that instead of the open-coded loop.
