Subject: [PATCH] HID: input: Fix NULL pointer dereference when
 power_supply_register fails

Do not call power_supply_powers() if power_supply_register() failed
earlier. This fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by
power_supply_powers() in such case.

The patch was prepared on top of next-20150323. It depends on changes in
power supply core (battery-2.6.git) so probably it should be applied to
the battery tree.
