I just did not yet spend the time to understand if there are any
issues. I guess I can do it now and then remove the opt-in part.

ACPI based systems should be fine, since battery info does not
yet support ACPI and thus nothing changes for them.

I don't think so. They are only used from code needing POWER_SUPPLY
being enabled.

One reported error is about the array of battery_info properties not
being used when POWER_SUPPLY is disabled. I will move that array to a
better place.

The other error is about power_supply_get_property(), because I
accidently removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(power_supply_get_property).
I did not notice myself, because I compiled a monolithic kernel for
the thermal camera for easy deployment.

Thanks for the review, much appreciated!
