Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 02/33] power: supply: sc27xx: Fix external_power_changed race

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 4d5c129d6c8993fe96e9ae712141eedcb9ca68c2 ]

sc27xx_fgu_external_power_changed() dereferences data->battery,
which gets sets in ab8500_btemp_probe() like this:

	data->battery = devm_power_supply_register(dev, &sc27xx_fgu_desc,
                                                   &fgu_cfg);

As soon as devm_power_supply_register() has called device_add()
the external_power_changed callback can get called. So there is a window
where sc27xx_fgu_external_power_changed() may get called while
data->battery has not been set yet leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

Fixing this is easy. The external_power_changed callback gets passed
the power_supply which will eventually get stored in data->battery,
so sc27xx_fgu_external_power_changed() can simply directly use
the passed in psy argument which is always valid.

After this change sc27xx_fgu_external_power_changed() is reduced to just
"power_supply_changed(psy);" and it has the same prototype. While at it
simply replace it with making the external_power_changed callback
directly point to power_supply_changed.
