Absolutely, yes. This particular state, which is a fault condition, clearly
indicates VBUS is present.

However, when there are no faults at all, then those bits always read
`000`. On a running system, one can check this by connecting and
disconnecting a charger (Nokia N900 used in my tests) while watching
/sys/class/power_supply/bq24150a-0/registers. Only bit 4 changes state.
In other words, the fault bits do not appear to be enough to determine
the presence of an input voltage.

However, looking at them more closely seems to suggest I should respin the
patch to also report VBUS online if a fault is reported instead of only
during charging and charge full states.

Please let me know if this sounds correct, or if I misunderstood your
reply.

Sincerely
