This bug leads to:

Driver was trying to use drv_data in property get handler. However drv_data
was not set, so it caused NULL pointer dereference. This patch properly
sets drv_data during probe by power_supply_config parameter, so the
property get handler works as desired.

This should crash on first try (get_property() is called just after
power supply register)... I wonder how was it working before...
