Fine with me until we have a better way to solve the problem. IIUIC
you no longer have access to the hardware anyways? But you need to
document the custom sysfs nodes: Please document them in the
following file:

Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power-ltc4162l

power-supply core automatically removes the sysfs groups specified
in power_supply_config.attr_grp.
