[RFC,PATCHv2,01/19] power_supply: Add driver private data

Commit Message

Krzysztof Kozlowski Jan. 5, 2015, 3:47 p.m. UTC

Allow drivers to store private data inside power_supply structure for
later usage in power supply operations.

Usage of driver private data is necessary to access driver's state
container object from power supply calls (like get_property()) if struct
'power_supply' is a stored there as a pointer, for example:

struct some_driver_info {
	struct i2c_client       *client;
	struct power_supply     *power_supply;
	...
}

In such case one cannot use container_of() and must store pointer to
state container as private data.
