[PATCH v2 0/8] power_supply: Add API for safe access of get_property-like function attrs

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Hi,


Changes since v1:
=================
1. Remove checks for non-NULL in added functions (suggested by
   Pavel Machek).
2. Fix typos in commit messages.
3. Add acks: Pavel Machek, Jonghwa Lee, Lee Jones (only 5/8).


Description:
============
After fixing issue with referencing old power supply after driver
unbind in charger manager [1] I noticed that the race condition in such
case may still exist. It would be harder to trigger but still possible.

The race is between using a reference to power supply (obtained
with power_supply_get_by_name()) and removing the driver.

This patchset aims to fix the race by introducing wrappers for
accessing the power supply function attributes.

Patch 1 introduces new API. Other patches replace direct calls in
drivers.

Rebased on next-20141007.
Tested on Trats2 board (max77693 + charger manager).


Kindly asking for reviewing/testing the drivers, although the changes
are straightforward.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
