 normally when running on battery and in suspend, the EC will enter "stop
 mode", to reduce power consumption.  (it also does this when on battery
 only and laptop is powered off.)

 in order to flash the LED, the EC forces a watchdog every 4 seconds, which
 wakes it to do the flash.  it goes back to stop mode promptly.

 twice now i've caught it going into stop mode and _immediately_ coming
 back out.  4 seconds elapses, and it does it again.  so it's out of stop
 mode more than it's in stop mode.

 this may be a bug in the a secondary feature, which causes us to wake for
 a full 4 seconds once every 20 of the above loops.  (this is so that
 battery state bookkeeping can be performed once in a while.)
