I think that would work too, my only concern is that this assumes that
bq27xxx_battery_update() is called during the registration of the power
supply. Looking at the backtrace from the panic we have ...

[ 1.984150] [<ffff000008614984>] bq27xxx_battery_update+0x88/0x51c
[ 1.990321] [<ffff000008615084>] bq27xxx_battery_poll+0x24/0x70
[ 1.996231] [<ffff000008615180>] bq27xxx_battery_get_property+0xb0/0x3b4
[ 2.002923] [<ffff0000086133d8>] power_supply_read_temp+0x2c/0x54
[ 2.009005] [<ffff000008616508>] thermal_zone_get_temp+0x5c/0x11c

[ 2.028295] [<ffff000008613b6c>] __power_supply_register+0x370/0x430

[ 2.047325] [<ffff000008615668>] bq27xxx_battery_i2c_probe+0xd0/0x1b0

Here bq27xxx_battery_update() is being called during the thermal zone
registration and so as long as all bq27xxx devices have a
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP property then it *should* be ok. It would only
break if there was a new bq27xxx with no temp support. May be that is
a bit fragile and we are better off explicitly calling
bq27xxx_battery_update()?
