Comment(by TimoJyrinki):

 Hmm, does not look too good here. I do now get "Charging" as soon as I
 plug the dumb charger in. Yes, even at 100mA. But even if I change to
 500mA with the force_usb_dangerous option, it seems the capacity is only
 dropping. I left it charging for an hour but it does seem to really be
 pulling current even though the kernel indicates so.

 Using andy-tracking 0f58c86e19a. Changing to non-dumb charger (ie. a
 laptop) works and charges.
