Would it be possible to use fwnode here instead? It would mean that
you add a member for it to the struct power_supply_config, and handle
it separately in power_supply_core.c. You could just convert it to
of_node there for now.

That is just a request, I'm fine with this, but it would prepare this
driver for all types of platforms, so less patching would be needed
once we add ACPI support to the power_supply_core.c.


Thanks,
