It seems that the driver isn't buildable since 2.6.32
(i.e. commit b4028437 "Driver core: move dev_get/set_drvdata to
drivers/base/dd.c").

Also, IIRC it was deprecated in favor of wm97xx_battery.c
driver.

So, I'm not picking this patch for 2.6.34, it's not a
new regression, and the driver is probably needs to be
removed.

Any objections on the patch down below?
