Hi,

This commit:

commit 297d716f6260cc9421d971b124ca196b957ee458

    power_supply: Change ownership from driver to core

    Change the ownership of power_supply structure from each driver
    implementing the class to the power supply core.

has

static void hidinput_cleanup_battery(struct hid_device *dev)
 {
-       if (!dev->battery.name)
+       if (!dev->battery)
                return;

-       power_supply_unregister(&dev->battery);
-       kfree(dev->battery.name);
-       dev->battery.name = NULL;
+       power_supply_unregister(dev->battery);
+       kfree(dev->battery->desc->name);
+       kfree(dev->battery->desc);
+       dev->battery = NULL;
 }

Is this OK to access dev->battery after calling power_supply_unregister?
