[PATCH v2 1/1] power/supply/sbs-battery: Add ability to force load a battery via the devicetree

[Richard Tresidder]

Add the ability to force load a hot pluggable battery during boot where
there is no gpio detect method available and the module is statically
built. Normal polling will then occur on that battery when it is inserted.

    Add the ability to force load a hot pluggable battery during boot where
    there is no gpio detect method available and the module is statically
    built. Normal polling will then occur on that battery when it is inserted.
    
    v2: move forceload variable to a local in probe.
        merge device tree documentation into this patch
