I like the patch, much thanks!

May I suggest adding
static int power_supply_is_system_supplied(void) { return -ENOSYS; }
in case of !CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY? This way drivers may not strictly
depend on power supply class.

And "if (power_supply_is_system_supplied())" will assume that we're
always supplied, which good assumption, I think.

Thanks,
