Subject: rx51-battery.ko incompatiblity: board code vs DT

Hello,

now I found out that rx51-battery.ko driver register sysnode 
/sys/class/power_supply/rx51-battery/ when booting with legacy board 
code. But when booting DT kernel it register sysnode with different name 
/sys/class/power_supply/n900-battery/

Sysfs node for DT kernel comes from Nokia N900 DTS file: 
arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-n900.dts

I would propose change which change DTS to "rx51-battery" to have it 
compatible with naming which is for legacy board code. It is just 
because to have compatibility and same naming scheme and also to make 
existing programs to work without needing patching them.

What do you think?
