[Bug 1874126] [NEW] Powertop displays incorrect discharge rate on HP Envy X360

[daljit97]

Public bug reported:

When I run `sudo powertop` and look at the discharge rate of the battery
(while my laptop is running on battery), powertop incorrectly displays a
discharge rate of around 0.5W. The value doesn't really change much as
time passes.
