Thanks for the patch, but I have a similar fix in the
battery-2.6.git tree (for -next):

    ds2782_battery: Rename get_current to fix build failure / name conflict

    This patch changes the name of get_current function pointer to
    get_battery_current to resolve a name conflict with the get_current
    macro defined in current.h.

    This conflict resulted in a build-failure[1] for the sh4 arch
    allyesconfig:

      drivers/power/ds2782_battery.c:216:48: error: macro "get_current"
      passed 2 arguments, but takes just

    This patch fixes the issue. To be consistent the other function pointers
    (_voltage,_capacity) were renamed too.

I'm not pushing this into 2.6.35 as this is not a 2.6.35 regression,
it's there since 2.6.33, and nobody seemed to care for two releases.
So, I'm not considering this as urgent.

Thanks!
