The logic used for power_supply_is_system_supplied() counts all power
supplies and:
* If no power supplies found assumes AC
* If non-battery power supplies found uses online to determine AC/DC.
- If any are onlined, assumes AC
- Othewise DC.

This logic makes sense for desktop systems that don't export an ACPI
battery, but it fails once you include a dGPU that provides a UCSI
power supply on a desktop system without any other power supplies.

The dGPU by default doesn't have anything plugged in so it's 'offline'.
This makes power_supply_is_system_supplied() return 0 with a count of
1 meaning all drivers that use this get a wrong judgement.

To fix this case adjust the logic to also examine the scope of the
power supply. If the power supply is deemed a device power supply,
then don't count it.

Good find; the current logic should also break with a desktop PC
once a POWER_SUPPLY_SCOPE_DEVICE battery device is attached (e.g.
a HID device), because it increases the counter.

Yup!

I suppose I can just apply this to my fixes branch since there is
no compile time dependency to the second patch?

Yes, that's correct.  I don't see a problem with the other patch going through
another tree.
