Found it!

Plugging the AC gives:

ac_adapter AC0 00000080 00000001
battery BAT0 00000080 00000001
hotkey ATKD 00000050 00000002

And unplugging gives:

battery BAT0 00000080 00000001
ac_adapter AC0 00000080 00000001
ac_adapter AC0 00000080 00000000
battery BAT0 00000080 00000001
hotkey ATKD 00000051 00000002
battery BAT0 00000080 00000001
ac_adapter AC0 00000080 00000000

However, the cpufv value is not affected at all.
