Since commit db0a507cb2 ("ACPICA: Update integer-to-hex-string
conversions") the battery serial number is no longer distorted,
allowing us to finally implement the battery matching algorithm.
The battery matchign algorithm is necessary when translating between
ACPI batteries and the associated indices used by the WMI interface
based on the battery serial number. Since this serial number can only
be retrieved when the battery is present we cannot perform the initial
translation inside dell_wmi_ddv_add_battery() because the ACPI battery
might be absent at this point in time.
Introduce dell_wmi_ddv_battery_translate() which implements the
battery matching algorithm and replaces dell_wmi_ddv_battery_index().
Also implement a translation cache for caching previous translations
between ACPI batteries and indices. This is necessary because
performing a translation can be very expensive.
Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
