The API looks sane.

For the future, you might want to get rid of the 'name', and instead
just point to a regulator device (via a sysfs symlink). I.e.

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/chargers/charger.[index]/device
would be a symlink to the regulator device.

But for the time being, I guess it's OK as is (although I wouldn't
mind if it'll use the symlink from the start. :-)

Notice that 'cable' is declared in the 'for' loop above,
so this doesn't compile for me:

  CHECK   drivers/power/charger-manager.c
drivers/power/charger-manager.c:1559:17: error: undefined identifier 'cable'
drivers/power/charger-manager.c:1564:17: error: undefined identifier 'cable'
drivers/power/charger-manager.c:1569:17: error: undefined identifier 'cable'
  CC      drivers/power/charger-manager.o
drivers/power/charger-manager.c: In function âcharger_manager_probeâ:
drivers/power/charger-manager.c:1559:3: error: âcableâ undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/power/charger-manager.c:1559:3: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[1]: *** [drivers/power/charger-manager.o] Error 1

Also:
- Please adhere to the codingstyle, there should be no spaces
  before ';' in the for loop statement.
- If possible, please consider splitting _probe routine, it is more
  than 300 lines long nowadays.

Thanks,
Anton.
