Subject: [PATCH v2] power_supply: Added support for power supply attribute sources

On some platforms one driver(or HW chip) may not be able to provide all
the necessary attributes of the power supply connected to the platform or
may provide very limited info which can be used by core/primary drivers.

For example a temperature sensor chip placed near the battery can be used
to report battery ambient temperature but it does not makes sense to register
sensor driver with power supply class. Or even a ADC driver or platform
driver may report power supply properties like voltage/current or charging
status but registering all those driver with power supply class is not a
practical or ideal approach.

This patch adds the generic support to register the drivers as power
supply attribute(properties) sources and adds an interface to read
these attributes from power supply class drivers.

If there are multiple attribute sources of the same type then caller has
to do source selection by passing the source string in the query struct.

+Power supply attribute sources
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+On some platforms one driver(or HW chip) may not be able to provide all
+the necessary attributes of the power supply connected to the platform.
+
+For example a temperature sensor chip placed near the battery can be used
+to report battery ambient temperature but it does not makes sense to register
+sensor driver with power supply class. Or even a ADC driver or platform
+driver may report power supply properties like voltage/current or charging
+status but registering all those driver with power supply class is not a
+practical or ideal approach.
+
+Power supply subsystem provides an interface to register and report about
+these power supply attributes to the primary driver which is registered
+with power supply class.
+
+Power supply attribute source driver can use the following functions to
+register/unregister as attributes source.
+
+int power_supply_attributes_register(struct device *parent,
+				struct power_supply_attr_source *psy_attr);
+
+void power_supply_attributes_unregister(
+			struct power_supply_attr_source *psy_attr);
+
+Power supply class driver(consumer driver) which needs to get
+power supply attributes can call the following function.
+
+int power_supply_get_external_attr(
+				struct power_supply_attr_query *query);
