As in "two casts in one expression -- too ugly to live".

"PSU"? This is cellphone. It has USB connection and charges from that.

It has been charging for long while now, and current_now fluctuates
between 20706 and -2856. USB has limitted current, so I guess "draw
current from battery if we need more than USB can provide" is quite common.

I'd pass to userspace what the controller reports. Yes, I seldom see
"STATUS_FULL" but that may be a problem we need to track down.
